Cremains Quotes

“If you don't remember them, they'll be no better than the recycled cremains we build our homes and cities out of. Their memory makes them human; it makes them real.”
― Nikki Elizabeth, Part One: Experiment

“In the black cheese crock
are the ashes, flecked
with white slivers of bone,
that should have been scattered
years ago, but the thing
did not seem possible.”
― Carolyn Forché, The Country Between Us
