Sister, Maiden, Monster Quotes

“Did I even ever really want kids? Did I, honestly? Even if it was possible or prudent after PVG’s ravages, did I want to destroy my damaged body even more in pregnancy for the sake of small strangers I’d be responsible for? Responsible for literally decades? An endlessly stressful responsibility that, if I failed to do it well, would result in exactly the same kind of distant relationship I’d had with my own family, so that I’d inevitably die alone and dissatisfied, no matter what future I’d envisioned?”
― Lucy A. Snyder, Sister, Maiden, Monster
