“Witch. The word slithers from the mouth like a serpent, drips from the tongue as thick and black as tar. We never thought of ourselves as witches, my mother and I. For this was a word invented by men, a word that brings power to those that speak it, not those that it describes. A word that builds gallows and pyres, turns breathing women into corpses.”
― Emilia Hart, Weyward

“A hard grimace set on Abitha's face. "If it is a witch they want," she hissed, "then a witch they shall have.”
― Brom, Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery

“Open yourself to every possibility, for there is nothing your heart can imagine that is not so.”
― William Kent Krueger, This Tender Land

“Perhaps one day (...) there will be a safer time, when women could walk the Earth, shining bright with power, and yet live.”
― Emilia Hart, Weyward
