Robin Wasserman Quotes
They Wanted Their Girls To Be Safe. To Do What They Had To Do To Conform, To Defer, To Survive, To Grow Up. They Wanted Their Girls Never To Grow Up. Never To Stop Burning. They Wanted Their Girls To Say Fuck It, To See Through The Lies, To Know Their Own Strength. They Wanted Their Girls To Believe The Things Could Be Different This Time, And They Wanted It To Be True.
They Wondered, Sometimes, If They'd Made A Mistake. If It Was Dangerous, Taming The Wild, Stealing Away The Words A Girl Might Use To Name Her Secret Self. They Wondered At The Consequences Of Teaching A Girl She Was Weak Instead Of Warning Her She Was Strong. They Wondered, If Knowing Was Power, What Happened To Power That Refused To Know Itself; They Wondered What Happened That Couldn't Be Satisfied, To Pain That Couldn't Be Felt, A Rage That Couldn't Be Spoken.
