“I'm grateful now to know the truth, that the only person who can give me purpose is myself. As the world fades, I find myself wondering if perhaps purpose is not a single thing one finds, but rather a thing one finds over and over again.”
Ayana Gray, I, Medusa

“That’s the curious thing about monsters,” she whispers. “The worst ones don’t bother hiding in the dark.”
Ayana Gray, I, Medusa

“You are not a monster,” I murmur. I don’t know if the words are for the lion or for me. “You are only what they made you.”
Ayana Gray, I, Medusa

“And true, sometimes it seems that anger alone keeps me alive; it burns with a bright and undiminished flame. Yet anger, like guilt, is an incomplete form of human knowledge. More useful than hatred, but still limited. Anger is useful to help clarify our differences, but in the long run, strength that is bred by anger alone is a blind force which cannot create the future. It can only demolish the past. Such strength does not focus upon what lies ahead, but upon what lies behind, upon what created it — hatred. And hatred is a deathwish for the hated, not a lifewish for anything else.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”
Turkish Proverbs
