“After those minutes of bewilderment, they hand over to the woman who transported her, cared for and fed her in this first stage of her life. Between her arms she feels again the same calmness of every night. A man approaches her and turns to her. -Cinderella recognizes the thick voice that she has also heard during her trip and that now sweetly says: -Welcome to the planet Earth, Cindy-.”

“You get surprised by looking back and wondering when you started not allowing anyone to approach you, to decide that deep down you did not care about anything. And surprise: all you manage to remember is a chain of small troubles. No earthquake, no gigantic traumatic event, as in the movies, where a significant event explains a whole personality. No dad or mom who left home, no surprised ex-husband in bed with your best friend. Rather: trifles of children, if anything. Minutiae, something that is almost laughable. Very small movements of indifference, of continental drift, that did not really move the floor at all, but that, millimeter after millimeter, they recorded inside you the certainty that it is better not to completely support yourself, because the floor is not stable, and You must always be ready to jump before a crack in the ground opens. And only now that, for a single night, you granted yourself a truce, you let yourself go and relaxed, only now that you finally let someone come to you and - How incredible! - not only did you not die, but you liked it more than what you could imagine, only now that you realize that until this moment everything was terribly exhausting.”

“Before leaving, he wrote: "I am aware of the dangers, I want to do it because I want to do it. Women should try to do the same things as men. If we fail, our failure will be a challenge for others.”

“It is important that girls know the obstacles they will face throughout their lives, but it is also essential that they know that these obstacles are surmountable. Not only will they find ways to overcome them, but they can eliminate them for the women of the future, just as the women in this book have done.”
