Alison’s Quotes

“for you to see beauty here
does not mean
there is beauty in me
it means there is beauty rooted
so deep within you

see it everywhere”

“The history keepers will no doubt tell their own tale, and the priests another. It is the men's accounts that seem to survive a world obsessed with conquest, our actions beyond bedchamber and hearth remembered only when we leave their obscurity. And so we become infamous because we were not invisible, the truth of our lives ephemeral as incense.”
― Tosca Lee, The Legend of Sheba: Rise of a Queen
