We Are Wolves Quotes

“Our capacity to minimise the severity of Bad Things is limitless, it seems. I wonder where that comes from, that instinctive need to gloss over the terror or the hurt, to pull the smile-curtains tight across our faces and upon questioning, lie, endlessly lie: ‘I’m fine!’ We say, over and over, but many of us aren’t. The lie pervades, the curtain hangs taut.”

No, we are mothers, we are sisters, we are wives, daughters, partners, friends, lovers, survivors, victors, we are brilliant, shining things, but we are also the shadows at the end of the bed, the eyes that gleam in the dark, we are alpha, the things with teeth and claws and hearts of hot blood, and we stand side by fucking side, as a pack, and you can hear us singing, if you listen.”
