“Maybe [Snow White] never wakes up. More likely than anything else, really. You can’t kiss a girl into anything.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Six-Gun Snow White

“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“You can make a little girl into anything if you say the right words. Take her apart until all that’s left is her red, red heart thumping against the world. Stitch her up again real good. Now, maybe you get a woman. If you’re lucky. If that’s what you were after. Just as easy to end up with a blackbird or a circus bear or a coyote. Or a parrot, just saying what’s said to you, doing what’s done to you, copying until it comes so natural that even when you’re all alone you keep cawing hello pretty bird at the dark.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Six-Gun Snow White

“It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.”
― Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd
