Catherynne M Valente Quotes

The Old Order, It Is Good For The Old. A Farmer Wants His Son To Be Afraid Of Beautiful Women, So That He Will Not Leave Home Too Soon, So He Tells A Story About How One Drowned His Brother's Cousin's Friend In A Lake, Not Because He Was A Pig Who Deserved To Be Drowned, But Because Beautiful Women Are Bad, And Also Witches. And It Doesn't Matter That She Didn't Ask To Be Beautiful, Or To Be Born In A Lake, Or To Live Forever, Or To Not Know How Men Breathe Until They Stop Doing It.
