“When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir

“Cosby, 60. Weinstein, 87. Nassar, 169. The news used phrases like avalanche of accusations, tsunami of stories, sea change. The metaphors were correct in that they were catastrophic, devastating. But it was wrong to compare them to natural disasters, for they were not natural at all, solely man-made. Call it a tsunami, but do not lose sight of the fact that each life is a single drop, how many drops it took to make a single wave. The loss is incomprehensible, staggering, maddening—we should have caught it when it was no more than a drip. Instead society is flooded with survivors coming forward, dozens for every man, just so that one day, in his old age, he might feel a taste of what it was like for them all along.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir

George R.R. Martin
“Perhaps that is the secret. It is not what we do, so much as why we do it.”
George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

“They seemed angry that I’d made myself vulnerable, more than the fact that he’d acted on my vulnerability.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“Good. Hodor is a man, not a mule to be beaten.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
