“You know why men do not instinctively fear women? The same reason why they do not respect them. They do not know the creatures who they bind in their servitudes and on whose back they load their lives. They do not understand what it is to be a woman. Who or what we are. That and they rarely mean it when they say we are witches. But luckily, some of us are”
― S. Bacchante, The Fourth Fury

“It felt strange to let a stranger in. Every little detail that he normally ignored seemed glaring now. The dagger, left on the table. A shopping list written in a script not of this world. The breastplate mounted above the fireplace, bearing a crest: a dragon locked in battle with a lion beneath a crown of stars.”
― Elisabeth G. Mark, Epilogue of Kings

“It was strange, Andrew thought, how when something moved in the dark, everyone's first instinct was to go inside and hide under the covers. As if monsters couldn't open doors and crawl into bed with you”
