Book Review : Across The Universe

January 27, 2012      8 Comments

“A leader doesn’t make pawns – he makes people.”

“We’re all looking glasses, we girls, existing only to reflect their images back to them. .  . Hollow vessel of girls to be rinsed of our own ambitions wants and opinions, just waiting to be filled with the cool tepid water of gracious compliance. . . a fissure forms in the vessel. I’m cracking open.”                                                                        

– Libba Bray, A Great and Terrible Beauty
