― Robert Jones Jr., The Prophets

“But everyone had to begin there: girl. Girl was the alpha. Even in the womb, the healers had said, the start was there before anything might change. Circles came before lines; that was what had to be honored. When the babies arrived, they were girls irrespective of whatever peace blossomed between the legs. Girls, until after the ceremony where you could then choose: woman, man, free, or all.”
― Robert Jones Jr., The Prophets

“A curse. A curse upon you and all of your progeny. May you write in ever-pain. May you never find satisfaction. May your children eat themselves alive.'
But it was too late and the curse held no meaning because it was redundant.”
― Robert Jones Jr., The Prophets

“More than worshipped, all gods wanted to be adored, and his people had that in them more than Paul's: to abide more, rejoice more, revere more, surrender more; climb on top of a golden pyre and burn more.”
― Robert Jones Jr., The Prophets
