“Did you really say y'all to me? Did i actually make a political statement to which your non sequitur reply was, 'Are y'all vegetarians?”
Blanche McCrary Boyd, Terminal Velocity

“I will never be crazy," repeats the adolescent hero to herself. "I will never get killed. I have to grow up.”
Blanche M. Boyd

“In 1970 I realized that the Sixties were passing me by. I had never even smoked a joint, or slept with anyone besides my husband. A year later I had left Nicky, changed my name from Ellen to Rain, and moved to a radical lesbian commune in California named Red Moon Rising, where I was playing the Ten of Hearts in an outdoor production of Alice in Wonderland when two FBI agents arrived to arrest the Red Queen .”
Blanche McCrary Boyd, Terminal Velocity
