“What mattered is I was different. The naive girl in me had been bitch-slapped into womanhood. ~Livvie”
“The naïve girl in me had been bitch-slapped into womanhood. I’d been razed by pain, grief, loss and suffering, and honed by lust, rage and an acute awareness of my need to survive.”
“Lord, Give me the strength not to bitch slap this woman.”
“My name is Celaena Sardothien. But it makes no difference if my name's Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me.”
“I once again fought against the desire to bitch-slap a faerie”
“My life might have been so different, had I not been known as the girl whose grandmother exploded.”
