We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire Quotes

“I wish Jess had that sword. I wish I had one of my own. Nor and Rayani, too. That swords were something granted to us at a certain age, like tampons and puberty, and we were taught to use them, responsibly and with honor, that chivalry was an actual thing, not in the damsels in distress sense, but in the sense that we look out for one another and sometimes you might need my sword and sometimes I might need your sword, but we're never standing alone in the middle of a battlefield, defenseless.”
― Joy McCullough, We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire
