Practical Magic (Practical Magic, #1)

by Alice Hoffman

Part of our fascination with witches is that they are the only female mythic figures with power.

This is a book about magic, but more importantly, it’s an ode to sisterhood and family, and to the power of love.

the moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.

Desire had a way of making a person oddly courageous. In the aunts’ opinion, it could sneak up on a grown woman and turn her from a sensible creature into something as foolish as a flea that keeps chasing after the same old dog.

sometimes the most dangerous thing of all in matters of love was to be granted your heart’s desire.
