Colette

“Witch. The word slithers from the mouth like a serpent, drips from the tongue as thick and black as tar. We never thought of ourselves as witches, my mother and I. For this was a word invented by men, a word that brings power to those that speak it, not those that it describes. A word that builds gallows and pyres, turns breathing women into corpses.”
― Emilia Hart, Weyward

“Love, the one force in the universe that no one could ever fully explain. Love, the candle in the dark that led us through the night and softened all our sorrows. Without love, life was a starved and empty thing, for there was no hope, no joy without it. My father had never, ever learned that lesson. But with love, there was strength. Love held us up and kept us from falling. When we found it, we clung to it and we never let go. Love made us strive to be better than we were. Love lifted us. Love carried us. Love made our flaws forgettable. Love was our saving grace. Love was the greatest adventure.”
― Briar Boleyn, Knight of the Goddess

“One of the hardest things about recovery is coming to terms with the fact that you can’t trust your brain anymore.”
― Jason Rekulak, Hidden Pictures

“Who meets their death devoid of love shall surely face their end,’” Odessa murmured. “‘But one who gives their soul away, eternity extends.”
― Briar Boleyn, Knight of the Goddess
