“How fitting, that the most terrifying time in my life should require me to do what I do best: escape into a book.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

“The central attitudes driving the Terrorist are:
You have no right to defy me or leave me. Your life is in my hands.
Women are evil and have to be kept terrorized to prevent that evil from coming forth.
I would rather die than accept your right to independence.
The children are one of the best tools I can use to make you fearful.
Seeing you terrified is exciting and satisfying.”
― Lundy Bancroft, Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men

“Books are Doors and I wanted out.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January

“Let that be a lesson to you: If you are too good and too quiet for too long, it will cost you. It will always cost you, in the end.”
― Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January
