“If we are at war, we’re not fighting for a bewitched alchemical manuscript, or for my safety, or for our right to marry and have children. This is about the future of all of us.” I saw that future for just a moment, its bright potential spooling away in a thousand different directions. “If our children don’t take the next evolutionary steps, it will be someone else’s children. And whiskey isn’t going to make it possible for me to close my eyes and forget that. No one else will go through this kind of hell because they love someone they’re not supposed to love. I won’t allow it.”

“I want what I shouldn’t want, and I crave someone I can never have.”
― Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches

“I could still feel the chain that anchored me to Matthew, witch to vampire.”
