"A lesser male needs to shour to be heard."
(I learned that others become afraid of people yelling at them. Early on an abusive person yells to frighten and take control. That bully, abuser, or narcissistic needs control to feel powerful. Or is actually a lesser male.They can not win against an alpha male, thus seek out smaller, weaker prey.)
"...life also taught her that ancient genes for survival still persist in undesirable forms among the twists and turns of man's genetic codes."
(Many readers who commented on the book at Good Reads, thought Kya was not capable of doing what she did to survive future rape/abuse. Yet told readers she could do what it took to survive.)
"Some behaviors that seem harsh to us now ensured the survival of early man in whatever swamp he was in at the time. Without them, we wouldn't be here. We still store those instincts in our genes and they express themselves when certain circumstances prevail. Some parts of us will always be what we wrem what we had to be to survive---way back yonder. "
Kya whispered an Amanda Hamilton verse:
- "never underrate
- the heart,
- Capable of deeds,
- The mind cannot conceive.
- How else can you explain
- The path I have taken.
- Thay you have taken.
- The long way through the pass."
(I can not figure out how to get rid of double spaces between lines of poem, so...)
