“But the thing that really gets me is this:
You say that I am lonely, that no one will love me, that no one will fuck me, for my body is barren, my breasts ancient, lifeless sacks that drag through the dirt at my feet, my sex as dry as sand and twice as dusty, a ring of teeth around a gaping, bloodless gash.

And a witch with a child... that would really scare them... Because they know that through children we will live forever. And they’d rather we...
Poof.
Disappear.
Better to say we eat children than that we have children. So it seems to me, to us, that the first thing you should concern yourself with, as a witch—
She raises the final shot to us.
Is how to live forever.”

“Imagine if a human killer could do that. Wear the head of his kill to blend in. We, we don’t know the difference—we just see a head, like any other head, and think to ourselves, no need to fear. Just another head, just another face, like mine—just another face—when underneath the crab spiders of the world, the invisible monsters, are biding their time, looking at all the little ants, knowing they’re stronger, smarter, and more powerful, thinking to themselves . . . now this . . . (beat) this is going to hurt.”
