“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been.

“When they (the men, the scavengers)
come for you, do not give yourself
to them so easily.
Wear your strength like armour,
fight like a beast.
Do not let them tell you that
you belong to them.
Be fearless.
Be a lion.
Be like lava.
Rip them apart,
and burn their bones.
And when you are done,
tell the world that
you belong to no man.
That you are a lady,
a warrior,
a tsunami,
and you belong only to yourself.”
― The Sky Is Purple

Some gave them plum-cake and drummed them out of town.”
