Quotes by Lamar Giles  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Am I radiating openness? Do you feel the warmth of the springtime sun when I'm near? If so, please understand that sensation is actually my fiery disdain.”
Lamar Giles, Endangered

“You don’t apologize for who you are. I’m an old lady now and perhaps that doesn’t mean much in the world we live in, but I exist and I shouldn’t have to be sorry for that. As a woman, you have to know that. Don’t ever apologize for who you are,”
Lamar Giles, Fresh Ink: A We Need Diverse Books Anthology

“You don't have to know someone your whole life to know them. Not really. Lonely is the same everywhere.”
Lamar Giles, Fake ID
