Child-rape Quote by Maya Angelou

“Then there was the pain. A breaking and entering when even the senses are torn apart. The act of rape on an eight-year-old body is a matter of the needle giving because the camel can't. The child gives, because the body can, and the mind of the violator cannot.” quote by Maya Angelou — Download Open image
