“As someone who believes in no religion, I can't bring myself to add the "Amen" at the end.
If God is a man, he could never understand the mundane threats women experience every single day of our lives.”

“These false prophets- modern strongmen who wrap themselves in old flags and old lies- will stand again, demanding a return to what was. The presidents, prime ministers, oligarchs, demagogues, and an alliance of dictators will thrive by turning neighbour against neighbor to deflect their own sins. But the spark has been lit and there will be dissenters who refuse to bow.
No more apologies while wishing for retribution.
No more waiting for allies or accomplices.
No more mercy; the demise of those who oppress won't be accidental, it will be intentional.
We will answer with fire.”
― Burn Down Master's House

“We Americans like to put our culture into disposable containers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the way we treat our past. We discard villages, towns, even cities, when they grow old, and we are now in the process of discarding our recorded history, not in a shredder, but by rewriting it as romance.”

“Violence isn’t the only means of Transformation, Aerius. There are other Ways Back. A book is an Ax too. ‘For the frozen Sea within us.’ ‘The Pen is mightier than the Sword,’ and so on.”
And in my Mindscape, I saw my Book. Now in Mother’s Hands. How she’d hugged it so close to her Body even after she’d called it Nothing, a Fiction. “My Book a Way Back,” I whispered. “All by itself?” My Voice echoed in the Forest, small and alone.
Allan looked down at me, suddenly quite enchanted. “All by itself," he repeated softly. “They are one of the oldest forms of Transformative Magic. They have the Power to change Everything. Hearts. Bodies. Minds. Souls. Whole fucking Worlds. People burn them for a Reason, you know.”
