Quotes by Erin Makela (?)

“Being afraid doesn't make you a coward," I told Remy, echoing what Dr. Warren had told me all those years ago. "A coward wouldn't be here. A coward wouldn't share their fears. They would just go on pretending until they couldn't anymore. You--we-- can do anything the rest of them can do. A few differences in anatomy doesn't change our ability.”
― Erin Makela, Worthy of Trust: That Word Honor: Book I

“Remy ducked her head, and Jacatacqua shook hers. "We are human--man or woman should make no difference to what we can and cannot do."

"To women," Suzannah said, raising her cup of tea. "And what we can accomplish.”
― Erin Makela, Worthy of Trust: That Word Honor, Book 1

“I did what needed to be done, Whitley. If we are not willing to take risks, if we do not charge forward bravely, then the fist of tyranny will close around us once more, and this time there will be no way to free ourselves. We have one chance to win our freedom, and we'll lose that chance if we wait for others to act.”
― Erin Makela, Worthy of Trust: That Word Honor: Book I
