Cassandra

“Cassandra is tired of running at wooden horses with nothing but the flames of the smallest match. She is tired of speaking to listening ears. The listening ears of the men who think her mad drive her to madness.”
― 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

“If every woman she has ever been were given a name, would there be a Midwestern Girl at all?”
― Gwen E. Kirby, Shit Cassandra Saw

“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
