Quotes by Amanda Lee Koe  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The deaths—tiny ones, false ones, real ones—we undertake in the name of love are the closest that we ever come to greatness.”
Amanda Lee Koe, Ministry of Moral Panic

“There are things that cut through swathes of memory, there are things you take with you that are non-essential, that drag you down, but you can't offload them because there is only one way to throw them overboard and that is for you to walk the plank.”
Amanda Lee Koe, Ministry of Moral Panic

“Small people need to talk more loudly to be heard.
Well I'm small aren't I, I'm not even 1.6 metres tall, but you don't see me raising my voice.
Maybe you're okay with not being heard.
I just want to be heard by the right people. The right person.”
Amanda Lee Koe, Ministry of Moral Panic
