And that was the day I knew I could truly build a life that matters.”

“Men are keen on blaming women for the rise in sin. It's been something plaguing humanity since the Bible first accused Eve of tempting Adam.

Yet Eve is always the villain, the wicked temptress who cursed us all.”
― Kerri Maniscalco, Capturing the Devil

“When I was eleven, Bessie revealed that my daughter will be The Third. I told Mom. She knew the truth."
The two of them had kept a secret from her. "And you guys didn't tell me?"
"Of course not! You were always so needy. We didn't want to give you another thing to complain about. But now you know. I'll have a daughter someday. And you won't. The Duncan line passes through me."
Brigid couldn't have cared less. What hurt was knowing her sister was trying to injure her. Her anger flared up to fight the cold creep of sorrow. "So you went ahead and left Mom alone on Wild Hill even though you knew she wasn't safe?"
"It's not my fault!" Phoebe shouted, though she was no longer so sure.”

Phoebe's words, delivered so matter-of-factly, cast a chill over the conversation, just as she'd intended. She wanted her sister to know she hadn't forgotten--- and she definitely hadn't forgiven. After thirty fucking years, she was still holding on to her grudge.
"Right." Now that Phoebe had made it perfectly clear where she stood on the matter, Brigid rose from the ground. "Well, we've both been brought back here for a reason. I guess we have to work together."
"Doesn't mean we have to enjoy it," Phoebe told her.”
