“If she were a man, he would not ask her this. For men there is no debt of blood which goes unpaid. If the world tips in another's favor, it must be made to tip back again.

― Ava Reid, Lady Macbeth

“There is no honor, after all, in a seed that sprouts daughters.”
― Ava Reid, Lady Macbeth

“I furl myself in the quilt like an oyster in its shell with no pearl to show for the grit that works through it.”
― Kat Dunn, Hungerstone

“She should not wear a white garment ever again. At least a dark linen will better hide the blood she sees dripping from her hands, soaking the hem of her dress, and pooling on the floor around her feet.”
― Ava Reid, Lady Macbeth
