“I didn’t know that money could make the cell doors swing open. I didn’t know that if a woman was drunk when the violence occurred, she wouldn’t be taken seriously. I didn’t know that if he was drunk when the violence occurred, people would offer him sympathy. I didn’t know that my loss of memory would become his opportunity. I didn’t know that being a victim was synonymous with not being believed.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“Awful feelings may remain the same, but my capacity to handle them has grown.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir

“Denying darkness does not bring anyone closer to the light.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“In rape cases it’s strange to me when people say, Well why didn’t you fight him? If you woke up to a robber in your home, saw him taking your stuff, people wouldn’t ask, Well why didn’t you fight him? Why didn’t you tell him no? He’s already violating an unspoken rule, why would he suddenly decide to adhere to reason? What would give you reason to think he’d stop if you told him to? And in this case, with my being unconscious, why were there still so many questions?”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir

“For so long I believed history was a thick book you carried around in your backpack, not something you could create.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir
