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

“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

“I regret that it took me this long to learn to use my body for its own sake.”
― Gwen E. Kirby, Shit Cassandra Saw

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