Quotes by Natalia Theodoridou (?)

“A critic said, "Gothic tales rely on distant pasts and faraway lands full of people unlike us," except he was wrong, because the land of this story is everywhere. The people are us, the time is always.”

“A dozen emotions could have rushed through her then, frustration and shame and so many more, but
I think none did. She was simply numb before this thing, this manly thing she knew so well yet had no name for.”
― Natalia Theodoridou
