Quotes by Andrea Bartz  (?)

“Just because a feeling is real doesn’t mean it’s true.”
Andrea Bartz, We Were Never Here

“Power is a funny thing. You know how they say that the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference? Like, we’re looking at the scale all wrong.” She tapped her nail against the glass. “I think it’s the same thing with fear. The opposite of fear isn’t safety. It’s power.”
Andrea Bartz, We Were Never Here

“All the hand-wringing about women tempting fate by going on adventures, how it was our responsibility to protect ourselves…wasn’t it simply a way to keep women’s lives small? To keep us cowering at home, controlled, contained?”
Andrea Bartz, We Were Never Here
