"There are days when I am less stardust than sawdust, less survivor than victim, but that does not mean that the reclamation of my own body is any less eternal.”–Jane Cochrane “How to describe the feeling of not being believed? It is the feeling of disappearing.”–Stephanie Oakes “I used to want to hurt you, to break you, to give you the sort of nightmares I still have so many years later.”–Melissa Marr “It’s so easy to say you’ll fight when it’s not happening to you. But then it was happening to me. And I locked up. My bones had all linked together and I was still.”–Bryson McCron
