“Husbands have been putting their names on their wives’ work in this city for three hundred years. And if it’s not a woman’s husband, it’s her boss, because women are limited to being apprentices and assistants in almost every profession worth doing. No woman ever gets credit for the work she puts in—especially in academia. She never gets the glory. Well, I’m not married, I’m no one’s apprentice, and I’ll be damned if I let a man find some other way to take my glory from me.”

“With her soul in the spiral on its way to Hell, Sciona’s last thought was not of vengeance or legacy. It was of love.”
― M.L. Wang, Blood Over Bright Haven

“If there was a signpost where Sciona was supposed to lay down her tools and kneel—let herself be a stepping stone for someone else—she had passed it a long time ago. She had passed it over and over again by simply refusing to slow down for anyone. Why should Bringham be an exception? Why should God Himself be an exception?”

“Sciona realized she had been staring at the line of his shoulders in that coat. She shook herself.”
