    Rose McGowan
    “We need to look at why so many women believe a man is going to save us. It’s not because of evidence of saving.

It’s just male-dominated society that snows us into not noticing it’s we women doing the saving. We are the white stallion and we have to wait for no one but ourselves.”
    Rose McGowan, Brave

    Kate Elizabeth Russell
    “The nine other students pack up their things and leave the classroom to carry on with their lives, to practices and rehearsals and club meetings. I leave the room, too, but I'm not part of them. They're the same, but I'm changed. I'm unhuman now. Unthetered. While they walk across campus, earthbound and ordinary, I soar, trailing a maple-red comet tail. I'm no longer myself; I am no one. I'm a red balloon caught in the boughts of a tree. I'm nothing at all.”
    Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa
