“Tomorrow can be whatever I want it to be, which means for the first time in decades, I can look forward to it. Instead of being something to fear, it can be a promise I make myself. A chance to be braver or kinder, to make what was wrong right. To be better than I am today.” HopeTomorrowBettermentP 505 Book:The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle Source: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
“People gave the heavens a voice, so they had something to ask for: a better harvest, a healthy child or a milder winter. God was hope, and mankind needed hope the way it needed warmth, food and ale. But with hope came disappointment. The downtrodden yearned for stories to explain their misfortunes, though what they really wanted was somebody to blame for their misery. It was impossible to set fire to the blight that had ruined your crops, but a blight was easily summoned by a witch, at which point any poor woman would do.” GodHopeDevilWitchesSalem Witch Trials Book:The Devil and the Dark Water Source: The Devil and the Dark Water
