“I know now that I must have glowed for them. I was a flower in a greenhouse, unsullied by the air that everyone else was forced to choke on. Worldliness has its price - cynicism - which I lacked, almost wholly.”

“That's what men do in this world to fertile things: put fences around them and make them procreate at any cost.”

“ALL FAIRY TALES serve the same purpose. One woman’s story, told to warn the others. Here is how I lost my feet; here is how I lost my voice; here is how I lost my children. Here is the moment I was given from my father to my husband. Here is where the danger lies: the man with the blue beard, the ogre in the forest, the tricky gentleman, the lying merchant, the prince in the tower. Fairy tales are not about sparkling shoes or white cats. They are about the ribbons that adorn, then sever, your neck.”
