Mary Hollow
“Consider how money is only truly worth anything in the moment of transaction, the sinner said. So it is with power, as well. Power only has meaning when it is exerted on somebody.”
Mary Hollow, No One Came For Me

“Everyone knows it’s not the hardest thing in the world to paint a woman as unstable. There are road maps. Centuries of examples of best practice by gentlemen such as myself who are willing to indulge their heinous tendencies”
Gilly Macmillan (author)
