Quotes by Xenobe Purvis (?)

“Girls—normal human girls—people could contend with; they were weak and small. And dogs too could be trained. But girls who became dogs, or who let the world believe they were dogs, were either powerful or mad: both monstrous possibilities.”
― Xenobe Purvis, The Hounding

“We went out when we weren’t supposed to, we were too free, and this—all of this—is our punishment. It has nothing to do with the idea of us becoming dogs, and everything to do with the fact of us being girls.”
― Xenobe Purvis, The Hounding

“Lies could be told with such liberating ease—they tasted better on the tongue than hard facts.”
