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

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

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
“One learns better than to hand one’s choices to fear. With age, with every wound and scar, one learns.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls

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
