“Pain was astringent and clarifying. Pain would burn away the mediocrity until all that was left in the world was a bright shining nucleus, a single electrified atom of human greatness. I wouldn’t be like my brothers, or my sister, or anyone in my family. I wasn’t part of a family—I wasn’t part of anything. I was living on the flickering border of life and death, real and imaginary. I was like Atlas, supporting an entire universe with the strength of my own mind, my will.”

“It didn't matter that the nastiness of my actions was at war with my own feelings. People would fill in the motives with a story that suited their imaginings. My inner life was not relevant. All that was important was what was visible. And all that was visible to the adults conducting this human autopsy were my actions. I was buried inside these surface behaviors—crushed, as if by avalanche.”

“We were just twenty years old, when anguish and its expression are still secrets to be buried. But the secrets gleamed in our eyes.”

“I understand now that the only time black people don't feel guilty is when we've actually done something wrong, because that relieves us of the cognitive dissonance of being black and innocent, and in a way the prospect of going to jail becomes a relief.”
