Quotes by Patrick B. Reyes (?)

“For my community, our vocations start with survival. The world was not built for us, though it was built on the backs of our ancestors, the colonized, the oppressed, the enslaved, and other marginalized people.”
― Patrick B. Reyes, Nobody Cries When We Die: God, Community, and Surviving to Adulthood

“But could there still be justice in another way? Could there be forgiveness? Spirits often leave this world, but rarely do they leave our communities.”
― Patrick B. Reyes, Nobody Cries When We Die: God, Community, and Surviving to Adulthood
