“Either way, don't you ever let anyone take you away from you, child. Because at the end of the day, that's all you got.”
― Lindy Ryan, Bless Your Heart

“They call her a witch. They call her a goddess. They call her a cannibal. But mirrors tell the wrong stories. And so do people.”
― Lindy Ryan, Into the Forest: Tales of the Baba Yaga

“She lives on the borders of places, in the margins far from a safe and civilized society. Her house will appear at the edge of a wood, or sometimes deep in a forest but on the thin line between kingdoms.”
