“I am a cypher...I carry no weight, no worth, no influence. I represent nothing. I do not exist.”
Brunonia Barry, The Fifth Petal“You know who you are. You have always been other.”
Brunonia Barry, The Fifth Petal“... once you start demonizing groups of people, when you make them the other, you can justify doing just about anything you want to the, can't you? Look at history if you don't believe me.”
Brunonia Barry, The Fifth Petal“The tree is a mediator between the living and dead. Where a limb is malformed, where her branches twist and wave into one another, or where a wound on bark remains unhealed, all these imperfections are sacred pathways between the realms.”
Brunonia Barry, The Fifth Petal“Tell me what you want, and I'll tell you who you think you are. Tell me what you fear, and I'll tell you who you really are.”
