“We are saved by the people we despise.”

“…determined to tell my story so the world can know the scale of the problem and so we can work to make sure that future generations understand that when one person steps forward to speak truth to power it does more than just redeem them or atone for wrongdoing, it adds to a collective whole, a larger wave of fresh outrage and demands for our government, our representatives and everyone to not just #believewomen but to do better.”

“When they pause to listen to the sporadic concerto played by the unseen soloists of night — those fleet of foot and swift of wing — they become scarecrows guarding a lake of mercury. They hear the nocturne music that is entirely devoid of melody but not of meaning, for within it are animalistic expressions of hunger, fear, desire, all heightened by an instinctive awareness of the shortened night and the moon’s radial power.
As a large cloud passes it becomes a liquid light, like molten metal pouring across the land. Far above the men, planets turn and blaze and burn, and below the imaginary meniscus of the placid crop, small mammals scuttle and scurry throughout the subterranean kingdom.”
― The Perfect Golden Circle
