Sarah Domet
There is hell and there is war. The two are difficult to distinguish, but hopefully you’ll never know the sting of either. That’s why you need to be good girls. The world is a mysterious place, full of times. An abundance of times. Times. War times. Peace times. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out exactly what time. As you sit here today, ask yourself: What time is it?
Sarah Domet, The Guineveres

It is hard to know how to save the world if one has never lived in it.
Alex Flinn, Girls of July
