The Palace of Eros Quotes

“But no matter the reason, being left for dead is no small thing. It changes you. It can bring terror but can also strip it away. At the edge of the accepted world there breathes another way of being. I had lost so much and yet I carried so much inside me. I'd survived thus far and that very knowledge made me bold.”
― Caro De Robertis, The Palace of Eros

“Men want us not to think. But why? Because we're empty and stupid, that's what they tell us--but what if that's not the truth at all?...What if it's the opposite? Something more combustible? What if men designed the world this way, not because they think we're nothing, but because they sense great power in us and want to press it down or chain it up?”
― Caro De Robertis, The Palace of Eros
