Where the Crawdads Sing Movie Quotes
Tom Milton
Listen. I know you have a world of reasons to hate these people...
Kya Clark
No, I never hated them. They hated me. They laughed at me. They left me. They harassed me. They attacked me. You want me to beg for my life? I don't have it in me. I won't. I will not offer myself up. They can make their decision. But they're not deciding anything about me. It's them. They're judging themselves.

And that sometimes, for prey to live, it's predator must die.
Kya Clark
I am in the marsh now. I am the feather of an egret. I am every shell washed upon the shore. I am a firefly. You'll see hundreds beckoning far into the dark reaches of the marsh. And that's where you will always find me, where the crawdads sing.

His eyes still holding mine
