❛ The face you give the world tells the world how to treat you. ❜

❛ Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. ❜

❛ Women get consumed. ❜

❛ Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them. ❜

❛ A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort. ❜

❛ Safer to be feared than loved. ❜

❛ I ached once, hard, like a period typed at the end of a sentence. ❜

❛ It's impossible to compete with the dead. I wish I could stop trying. ❜

❛ I always feel sad for the girl that I was. ❜

❛ Every time people said I was pretty, I thought of everything ugly swarming beneath my clothes. ❜

❛ How do you keep safe when your whole day is as wide and empty as the sky? Anything could happen. ❜

❛ See, there I am. I told you I lived. I told you I was. ❜

❛ Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand. ❜

❛ To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting. ❜

❛ I'm here. I don't usually feel that I am. ❜

❛ I'm tired of dying. ❜

❛ What if you hurt because it feels so good? ❜

❛ How confusing to live in the shadow of a shadow. ❜

❛ Do you ever feel like bad things are going to happen, and you can’t stop them? You can’t do anything, you just have to wait? ❜

❛ Sometimes my scars have a mind of their own. ❜

❛ Everyone has their own version of a memory. ❜

❛ Isn’t a smile a girl’s best weapon? ❜

❛ My sense of weightlessness, I think, comes from the fact that I know so little about my past. ❜

❛ Do what I want; I might like you. ❜

❛ I feel sorry for Persephone because even when she’s back with the living, people are afraid of her because of where’s she’s been. ❜

❛ She has never told me she loved me, and I never assumed she did. ❜

❛ The sight of it actually does something to you, makes you less human. ❜

❛ It infects you. It ruined me. ❜

❛ Your health is not a debt you just cancel. The body collects. ❜
