“How could we explain that standing on a stage and speaking someone else’s words as if they are your own is less an act of bravery than a desperate lunge at mutual understanding? An attempt to forge that tenuous link between speaker and listener and communicate something, anything, of substance.”

“Some women, Ester, like to believe their hearts are made of glass, which must shatter if they so much as think of a sin. Oh Ester, shatter”

“People are not born hating themselves. It's something that comes with time, with careful conditioning and spiteful words, with fingernails dug into your arm until you bleed. It's a special sort of skill, to hurt someone so badly that they don't love themselves anymore.”
