“You don’t forget your first. You never forget the boy who taught you how to survive as a stranger in your own body.”
― Clémence Michallon, The Quiet Tenant

“You never expect evil to smell nice. What kind of devil wears cologne?”

“It’s embedded in you, once you’ve been a girl. You pass them on the street. You hear their laughs. You feel their pain. You want to lift them into your arms and carry them over to the end point, sparing their feet from the thorns that drew blood from your own. Every girl in the world is a little bit me, and every girl in the world is a little bit mine.”
― Clémence Michallon, The Quiet Tenant
