A Quote by Madchen Amick

I just love the idea of witches, in general. The whole concept of witches was to keep down the feminine rise in power that was happening, at the time. They created this concept of witches, so that they could burn women at the stake and keep them in their place, and now we've turned it around to empower women. That's very ironic. If they only knew that they created a weapon for us to use against them.

Witches never existed, except in people’s minds. All there was in the olden days was women and some men who believed in herbal cures and in folklore and in the wish to fly. Witches? We’re all witches in one way or another. Witches was the invention of mankind, son. We’re all witches beneath the skin.

Ian Rankin

I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. And a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. But a witch, my god, we have to burn them. It's the male chauvinistic society that we're living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. And so I just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. We are very blessed that way, so I'm just bringing that out. Don't be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.

Yoko Ono

The whole concept of witches was that women were speaking up for themselves and fighting for their rights. The whole concept of witchcraft came into play to hold down women and women's empowerment.

Women are impossible, witches are worse, and women who are powerful witches are going to be the death of me.

I believe in all the qualities of being a liberal. I keep going back to all the great social events in our country's history, starting with the Salem witch trials, where the conservative view was that they're witches and should be burned at the stake, and the liberal view was there's no such thing as witches.

George Clooney

Witches don’t look like anything. Witches are. Witches do.

Franny Billingsley

Witches are moon-birds, Witches are the women of the false, beautiful moon.

Amy Lowell

I hate witches. Humans had the right idea, burning them at the stake.

Charlaine Harris

People fear witches, and burn women.

Louis D. Brandeis

Witches were a bit like cats. They didn’t much like one another’s company, but they did like to know where all the other witches were, just in case they needed them.

Terry Pratchett

If I were to disclose all their rituals, I think that it would be easy to prove that witches are not diabolists; but the oaths are solemn and the witches are my friends. I would not want to hurt their feelings. They have secrets which to them are sacred. They have good reason for their secrecy.

Gerald Gardner

Dark witches focus on dark magic, black magic and all kinds of horrible things. I don't believe white witches have warts on them either, or pointy noses.

Gemma Collins

In the past, men created witches: now they create mental patients.

Thomas Szasz

I do love that witches haven't really been explored that much. Usually, witches are the little side character... a bad female character that comes in and leaves.

Madchen Amick

The difference between white witches and dark witches is that a white witch is very spiritual, into nature and can make magic happen. That is me.
