Flight of a Witch Quotes

“We think we have sound relationships,’ said George, answering the doubt beyond doubt, ‘and suddenly there’s a word said or a thing done, so shatteringly out of key that you find yourself alone, and know you’ve never actually touched your partner at any point, or said a word in the same language. And it doesn’t always even absolve you from loving, when it happens. That’s the hell of it.”
― Ellis Peters, Flight of a Witch

“belonging was all. It could happen to you without any motion on your part. Suddenly it was, and you were in it. You belonged, you respected, you partook, you contributed, this earth and all its layers of ancestral bones accepted you; a better and safer, a more impregnable security that belonging to a tribe or conforming to a society could give you.”
― Ellis Peters, Flight of a Witch
