Quote
The real danger has always lived in my granddad's kind voice, his soft caresses. All of it masquerading as innocent, but really just a gateway drug for girls starved for affection, desperate for someone to love them. He doesn't force us with a heavy hand. He manipulates with a gentle touch, guides us exactly where he wants us to go. So in the end, we blame only ourselves.

Quote
Lo cierto es que no hay forma fácil de ser una mujer en este mundo. Si te expresas, si dices que no, si te mantienes firme, entonces eres una bruja y una arpía y todo lo que te pase es merecido. «Te lo has ganado a pulso». Pero si sonríes, dices que sí, sobrevives a base de buenos modales, eres débil y estás desesperada. Un blanco fácil. Una presa en un mundo de depredadores. No hay opciones seguras para las mujeres, no hay decisiones que no terminen volviéndosenos en contra.

Quote
He knows me better than anyone ever has. Than anyone ever will again. I would have stopped it if I could have. But I've learned the hard way, we can't choose who we love. Love chooses us. Love doesn't care about what's convenient or easy or planned. Love has its own agenda and all we can do is get out of its way.
