Kasia

“ If I were a man, I would fight him.
If she were a man, no one would force Kania to try to bear child after child. If I were a man, I would not be the next in line to be married if he kills her. If we were men… She stared at her fingers curled into the dirt. It did not matter. They were not and the history of the world was written in women’s wombs and women’s blood and she would never be allowed to change it.
Rage shivered through her, a rage that seemed like it could topple the halls of heaven, then vanished under the knowledge of her own helplessness. Rage was only useful if you were allowed to do anything with it.”
― T. Kingfisher, Nettle & Bone

“We’re better equipped for sorrow when we’re young.”

“One minute social media was your friend and saying kind things; the next minute social media was a self-righteous bitch telling you exactly what a fuck-up you were.”
― Jennifer Hillier, Wonderland

“A brave man helps. A coward just gives presents.”
