Once you call something a story, it's set in stone. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end that can't be transformed, because by definition, if you do that, it's not the same story anymore

I never said I do not remember, my grandmother corrects. I said I prefer to forget.

I sometimes wonder if it is just me, or if there are other women who figure out where they are supposed to be by going nowhere.

It's just like nurses in a hospital tend to know more than the doctors most of the time; if you really want to get the answers to a question about court, you should spend more time buttering up the clerks than the judges.

But there is a different between mending someone who's broken and finding someone who makes you complete.

How could you beat an enemy you couldn't see?

Some women are meant to change the world while others are meant to hold it together.
