YA LIT WOMEN EMPOWERMENT:

Cadence Sinclair Eastman (We Were Liars)

“They know that tragedy is not glamorous. They know it doesn't play out in life as it does on a stage or between the pages of a book. It is neither a punishment meted out nor a lesson conferred. Its horrors are not attributable to one single person. Tragedy is ugly and tangled, stupid and confusing.”

We are the reckless We are the wild youth Chasing visions of our futures One day we'll reveal the truth That one will die before he gets there And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone

YA LIT WOMEN EMPOWERMENT:

Camilla Macaulay (The Secret History)

“Murder is pollution. The murderer defiles everyone he comes into contact with. And the only way to purify blood is through blood. We let pigs bleed on us. Then we went inside and washed it off. After that, we were okay.”

Well criminals and liars,

keep him in your cell as a privilege of mine.

Well I love the house that we live in, 

I love you all too much.

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

YA LIT WOMEN EMPOWERMENT:

Anna Oliphant  (Anna And The French Kiss)

“So what do I wish for? Something I’m not sure I want? Someone I’m not sure I need? Or someone I know I can’t have? Screw it. Let the fates decide. I wish for the thing that is best for me.”

So wake me up when it’s all over,

When I’m wiser and I’m older.

All this time I was finding myself,

And I didn’t know I was lost.

YA LIT WOMEN EMPOWERMENT:

Cassia Reyes  (Matched Trilogy)

“So don’t worry if you don’t hear from me as often. I’ll find my way to you as soon as I can. I have a plan. I know that you’re going to want to come find me, that you’re going to want to save me. But I need you to trust me to save myself.”

I've got a plan, 

I've got an atlas in my hands;

I'm gonna turn when,

I listen to the lessons I've learned.
