“Because men believe it’s their right to tell women how to live. They tell us who to marry, what to wear, when to go out and when to stay. Some men beat their wives, and no one speaks a word about it. But despite all the power they hold over us, they feel powerless against our kind. We resist. We cause things to happen. We interfere with their plans, with what they think is the natural order. That frightens them. Men hate being afraid, so they hate us instead.”
― Louisa Morgan, A Secret History of Witches

“Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read.”

“Solitude is a way to defend the spirit against the murderous din of our materialism.”
