Mimi Matthews
“I've been miserable for more years than I can count... I have suffered, too.... A girl requires more than expensive things. She needs love and acceptance. She needs to know she has value. Being your daughter made me in to a shadow. Much longer, I fear I would have vanished.”
Mimi Matthews, The Belle of Belgrave Square

Lois McMaster Bujold
“You have more years ahead of you now than Pejar, half your age, whom we buried outside these walls these two days past. Stand before his grave and use your gift of breath to complain of your limited time. If you dare.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls

Maria Turtschaninoff
“I saw the same thing in him as I had seen in the eyes of the men who stole me and my sisters that night, and in the eyes of the men who had sold me for silver and gold: to them I am a thing.”
Maria Turtschaninoff, Naondel

Maria Turtschaninoff
“She does not know how to feel safe.” As I said it I knew it was true. “We will have to teach her how.”
Maria Turtschaninoff, Maresi

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“You have been cast into a race in which the wind is always at your face and the hounds are always at your heels. And to varying degrees this is true of all life. The difference is that you do not have the privilege of living in ignorance of this essential fact.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me
