Famous Erica Waters Quotes

“There will always be men in the world who want to control and hurt and kill us. Men who drug us and drive us off roads and hit us with their fists. Men who take girls and make them their toys. Men who gain pleasure from our pain. […] They will walk through this world until it comes unraveled. They will keep on doing what they’ve been doing for thousands and thousands of years until the earth has had enough and ends us all. […] But today I refuse to fear them, not a single one. They have strength and cruelty and endless complicity. They walk tall and almost always win. But not here, not on the Bend, where owls that were once girls fly free. Not here, where magic rides up to meet my will. […] Here, we are witches and men are nothing. Here, the river has teeth.”

“There is no such thing as generational curses, no evil carried in our DNA. That's just Pentecostal bullshit, a way to reject responsibility and guilt. We are the choices we make, the actions we commit. We decide for ourselves whether we are good or bad. This is real life, not a fucking Greek Tragedy.”

“Dad said I should be afraid of death because I'll finally have to face judgement for my sins. But he was wrong. These bones tell me there's nothing in death to fear. It's only the living who need to be afraid.”
