“Victor smiled at the challenge. A quick step forward, and Eli tried to step back on instinct but met the wall and Victor met him. The knife slid in. It was easier than he imagined. Like a vanishing act, one moment the metal glinted and the next it was gone, buried in Eli’s stomach to the hilt.”
― Victoria E. Schwab, Vicious

“The Marshall family then sued a county police officer who had been identified as a member of the Klan. The officer testified that about half of the forty Klan members known to him were also in the police department and that his superiors condoned officers’ Klan membership, as long as the information did not become public.”
― Richard Rothstein, The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America

“she looked at him—just looked at him, with this quiet, conscious acceptance, as if to say Maybe you’re hiding the whole story, but if you need to, I’ll let you. And something about that look leaned on every last one of Zaf’s pressure points—not in a painful way, not exactly. More like a massage that hurt really fucking good.”
― Talia Hibbert, Take a Hint, Dani Brown

“We seldom admit the seductive comfort of hopelessness. It saves us from ambiguity. It has an answer for every question: “There’s just no point. It’s just not worth the effort.” Hope, on the other hand, is messy. If a good outcome is possible, then we have things to do. We must weather the possibility of happiness. We must hush shame and doubt and participate in the art of living because we are needed to usher good into the world, for others and ourselves.”
― Jarod K. Anderson, Something in the Woods Loves You
