“The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Americans are addicted to plausible deniability. If we can't even think critically about something as relatively insignificant as an internet cat or admit that a person might give a pet an offensive name or apologize honestly for small, careless slights, how are we ever going to reckon with the fact that our country was built by slaves on land stolen from people on whom we perpetrated a genocide? What the f*ck are we going to do? Our propensity for always, always, always choosing what is comfortable over what is right helped pave the road to this low and surreal moment in US history.”
― Lindy West, The Witches Are Coming

“To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.”
― Amos Bronson Alcott

“Death...does this to people. It slaps the living upside the head and it makes us ponder and exchange events and feelings that might stay hidden.”
― Kris Radish, Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral
