“I see you. I see all those who men call monsters. And I see the men who call them that. Call themselves heroes, of course. I only see them for an instant. Then they're gone. But it's enough. Enough to know that the hero isn't the one who's kind or brave or loyal. Sometimes — not always, but sometimes — he is monstrous. And the monster? Who is she? She is what happens when someone cannot be saved. This particular monster is assaulted, abused and vilified. And yet, as the story is always told, she is the one you should fear. She is the monster. We'll see about that.”
― Natalie Haynes, Stone Blind

“If you set a fire, you’re going to inhale some smoke. I’m all for setting fires and burning whatever will catch flame, but I encourage you to be careful when you pour the kerosene.”
