Natalie Haynes
“But the verb in Pandora’s name is active, not passive: literally she is all-giving rather than all-gifted.”
Natalie Haynes, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

Sarah Gailey
“Rather than asking him to repeat himself, I waited. It was a trick I learned from my father, letting the silence thicken until it was suffocating.”
Sarah Gailey, The Echo Wife

Anna Pitoniak
“Stella was the vine wrapped around the limbs of my tree, and even though I had branches that were dead and dangling and should have fallen off long ago, she kept them in place.”
Anna Pitoniak, Necessary People

Natalie Haynes
“Every myth contains multiple timelines within itself: the time in which it is set, the time it is first told, and every retelling afterwards. Myths may be the home of the miraculous, but they are also mirrors of us. Which version of a story we choose to tell, which characters we place in the foreground, which ones we allow to fade into the shadows: these reflect both the teller and the reader, as much as they show the characters of the myth. We have made space in our storytelling to rediscover women who have been lost or forgotten. They are not villains, victims, wives and monsters: they are people.”
Natalie Haynes, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

Sarah Gailey
“The way I see it, you mostly stop loving a person the same way you stop respecting them. It can happen all at once if something enormous and terrible falls over the two of you. But for the most part, it happens in inches. In a thousand tiny moments of contempt that unravel the image you had of the person you thought you knew.”
Sarah Gailey, The Echo Wife
