Quotes by Zefyr Lisowski (?)

“In the summer after my father died, I spent days unable to get out of bed. I had vivid nightmares of monstrous women lurching out of televisions or crammed into attics, bones cracking out of place. I had nightmares that I was monstrous too. I thought these dreams were further punishment, a reflection of who I had become. But now I wonder how much the things that scare us are always trying to form their own communities too.”

“I asked my mother what she prayed for. It wasn't an end to her pain, as I or the countless well-wishers had assumed. She wished for just one thing, day after day, night after night: That her daughter wasn't afraid when she died.”

“If you care enough about a person, after all, you can ignore almost any belief they hold. If you're devoted enough, a friend and a lover are nearly the same thing.”
