Bait and Witch Quotes

“It’s a gift to be a witch,” a woman’s voice said. Her accent placed her in the rural South. “You can’t be selfish with this gift, or it will sour and poison you. No, I was wrong to call it a gift. It’s a responsibility. If you’re chosen, you must respond. It’s the rooster’s job to wake you when the sun rises, and the honeybee has to spread pollen, or the apple trees won’t fruit. Same thing with us witches. We’re a quiet part of the working of the world.”
― Angela M. Sanders, Bait and Witch

“Below me, books held the world’s knowledge and imagination—oceans of it. Even a few feet of shelf told stories of generations of love, war, comedy, and tragedy. People were lost at sea, flew to the moon, crossed the Sahara in caravans, and dawdled in Queen Elizabeth’s court. They grew wiser—or not. They survived—or not. The experience a single page could communicate awed me.”
― Angela M. Sanders, Bait and Witch

“Sometimes I wonder if you love books more than real life,” she’d said.”
― Angela M. Sanders, Bait and Witch
