Quote by Sabrina Blackburry

“She was insightful, bringing up ideas for the gallery that I hadn't considered. Her knowledge of art was lacking, but her enthusiasm for the history behind it was bountiful as she showed me what she had worked on so far. And she was charming. The way she held her wrist when she ate, the way her eyes sparkled as she laughed. What kind of fae was she destined to become? Something warm and loving like her could fit in any of the courts. Something about that bothered me for reasons I couldn't pinpoint. Maybe I simply wanted to see her in my court for selfish reasons.”

Being five foot three, tongue-tied and blonde I mostly passed muster, except that I was so unskilled in small talk that I sometimes blurted big words (hypocrisy, or pretentiousness), which jumped out of my mouth like the toads of the fairy tale before I knew it. In any case, you could cultivate the wrong sort of silence - the sort that implied brooding self-absorption rather than attentiveness.”

“Les filles sont conditionnées pour aspirer au mariage, mais pas les garçons, ce qui entraîne dès le départ un déséquilibre. Les filles deviennent des femmes qui sont obnubilées par le mariage, les garçons deviennent des hommes qui ne sont pas obnubilés par le mariage. Les femmes épousent ces hommes. La relation est automatiquement inégale, parce que l’institution compte plus aux yeux de l’une que de l’autre.”
