“I saw then that he was drawn not just to me, but also to the dark potential all women in our town carried inside us, and I was startled to realize he feared me a little. I began to know what women here had always known: We were endangered, but we were dangerous, too; our peril was also our power.”

“If you begin to accept your illness, or even to love it, you worry that you might want to keep it around.

― Anne Boyer, The Undying
