" They want a woman who is a canvas, white and empty. Standing still, existing for no other purpose than to serve as a mute object onto which they can paint their own hopes and desires. They want their brides veiled. They want a demure, blank space they can fill with whatever they desire.”
“Miss Lowell, you magnificent creature, I want you to paint your own canvas. I want you to unveil yourself. "
― Courtney Milan , Unveiled (Turner, #1)
