Standout quotes from "Know My Name":

“This is the rule of the universe, this is the one thing in life I know to be true. No matter how awful and long your journey, I can promise you the turn, one day it will lift.”

“Awful feelings may remain the same, but my capacity to handle them has grown. I can’t tell you what happens next because I have not lived it yet. This book does not have a happy ending, the happy part is there is no ending, because I’ll always find a way to keep going.”

“When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?”

“Little girls don’t stay little forever, Kyle Stephens said. They turn into strong women who return to destroy your world.”
