The Girl and the Winter Bones Quotes

“It’s control through the illusion of self-actualization and freedom. That is more powerful, and terrifying, than even the most forceful of control. If a person feels like they are living their true selves and have finally been given the freedom to do that, they will feel extreme loyalty toward whomever they perceive as giving those things to them. They will be willing to do nearly anything to defend that person and protect what they’ve been given.”
― A.J. Rivers, The Girl and the Winter Bones

“They want to reject everything about their old lives, right down to how they think society should be, and they walk right into the arms of people offering easy, simple answers.”
― A.J. Rivers, The Girl and the Winter Bones
