It was not like everyone had said. Not like being needed, or needing; not desperate;it did not whisperthat I'd come to harm. I didn't losemy head. No, I was notgoing to leap from a greatheight and flapmy wings. It was in factthe opposite of flying:it contained the wishto be toppled, to be on the floor, the ground, anywhere I mightlie down.. ..On my back, and you on me. Deborah Garrison
About This Quote

I was not going to leap from a great height and flap my wings. I was going to stay down and lay still and be on my back and you were going to be on top of me. I wanted to be unable to move. I wanted to become paralyzed and unable to do anything, but make you do it for me.
