Cassandra

“A virgin the same as a seduced woman the same as a violated woman the same as a willing woman, all women opening their mouths to watch snakes slither out and away.”
― Gwen E. Kirby, Shit Cassandra Saw

“Her skin was so fair, her face so expressive, that he felt like he could read every emotion that crossed over it. He had a feeling she'd hate knowing that.”
― Alicia Thompson, With Love, from Cold World

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“And here is the best thing of all, the thing that makes Cassandra smile as the men storm her temple, exactly as she has always known they would: someday, Trojan will not be synonymous with bravery or failure, betrayal or endurance, or the most beautiful woman or the most foolish of men.”
― Gwen E. Kirby, Shit Cassandra Saw
