“If she is afraid of mirrors she is afraid of herself.”
“She is a girl and would not be afraid to walk the whole world with herself.”
“She was afraid, but she couldn't just sit around waiting for someone to save her. She had to try to save herself, try to figure it out.”
“She was afraid, and the afraid, she realized, sought opportunities for bravery in love.”
“She cried for herself, she cried because she was afraid that she herself might die in the night, because she was alone in the world, because her desperate and empty life was not an overture but an ending, and through it all she could see was the rough, brutal shape of a coffin.”
“She's no longer afraid to die. What she's afraid of is living, accepting the status quo.”
