"Somewhere in the back of my brain there……" — Marya Hornbacher
"Somewhere in the back of my brain there exists this certainty: The body is no more than a costume, and can be changed at will. That the changing of bodies, like costumes, would make me into a different character, a character who might, finally, be alright."
