3 " He scratches the top of his head. He is completely confused. “Do you even know how to use a sword? Women aren’t permitted to—”“The pointy end goes in your neck,” Constance snaps. "
4 " Have you ever heard of a man marrying another man? A woman being in love with another woman? Of people who find their hearts lie somewhere in the middle or with neither? "
5 " Cinderella has been dead for two hundred years. I’ve been in love with Erin for the better part of three years. And I am about two minutes away from certain death. "
6 " I don't want to be saved by some knight in shining armour. I'd like to be the one in the armour, and I'd like to be the one doing the saving. "
7 " It's risky...But sometimes that's the only way to get things done. Take the risk, light the fuse. Onward. "
8 " I think sometimes we make the mistake of thinking monsters are abhorrent aberrations, lurking in the darkest recesses, when the truth is far more disturbing. The most monstrous men are those who sit in plain sight, daring you to challenge them. "
9 " That you try to flatter me when I have a blade at your neck makes me want to slit your throat and spare the world your ignorance. "
10 " Look at your children, your friends, your wives, and your daughters. Don't do what is right because they hold those titles. Do what is right because they are people. "

12 " You weren't selfish. You saw a future for yourself that she couldn't imagine. You wanted her to believe that the two of you could find a way through all this. That's what happens when you care about someone. And when you're brave enough to imagine a different life. "
13 " And you're not lost?""Maybe I am. But the difference is that I want to be found. I'm not happy pretending everything is fine when I know it's not.""And just who is it that you suppose will find you?""It'll be me. I will find myself. "
14 " The people we love are never really gone from us,” Mom said. “Try to remember that. I know it’s hard. It feels like the whole world should just stop spinnin’, but it doesn’t. And we’ve gotta find a way to pick up the pieces. "

15 " That a girl is considered a spinster if not married by eighteen is wrong, and that the boys don’t even have to attend the ball until they want to is a sickening double standard. "
16 " Whenever you hear a story about villainous women, you should ask who’s telling the story. Medea’s tale has been told and retold a dozen times, but always by men who seem to revel in her heinous actions without addressing what caused it. Sometimes her story is used to showcase women as crazy, unpredictable, or vindictive. "
17 " We’ve also rarely heard about people like us and yet here we are. Just because they deny us doesn’t mean we cease to exist. "

19 " For all his cruelty, he is a highly intelligent man,” Amina says. “I think we sometimes make the mistake of thinking monsters are abhorrent aberrations, lurking in the darkest recesses, when the truth is far more disturbing. The most monstrous of men are those who sit in plain sight, daring you to challenge them. He’s calculating and manipulative, and believe me when I say he will not stop until he finds you. "
20 " You can keep your girls from harm. And more important, they can be allowed to keep themselves from harm [...] Look at your children, your friends, your wives, your daughters. Don't do what is right because they hold those titles. Do what is right because they are people. Make a choice to change things. "
