Omar El Akkad
“Rage wrapped itself around her like a tourniquet, keeping her alive even as it condemned a part of her to atrophy.”
Omar El Akkad, American War

Catherine Lacey
“It’s always seemed to me—and as I get older, I feel this even more intensely—that kindness to other people comes with its own reward. It can be immediately felt. And the only thing I can see that a belief in divinity makes possible in this world is a right toward cruelty—the belief in an afterlife being the real life … not here. People need a sense of righteousness to take things from others … to carry out violence. Divinity gives them that. It creates the reins for cruelty …”
Catherine Lacey, Pew

Catherine Lacey
“If you ever need to—and I hope you never need to, but a person cannot be sure—if you ever need to sleep, if you are ever so tired that you feel nothing but the animal weight of your bones, and you’re walking along a dark road with no one, and you’re not sure how long you’ve been walking, and you keep looking down at your hands and not recognizing them, and you keep catching a reflection in darkened windows and not recognizing that reflection, and all you know is the desire to sleep, and all you have is no place to sleep, one thing you can do is look for a church.”
Catherine Lacey, Pew

Omar El Akkad
“Sarat smiled at the thought. "You couldn't just let us kill ourselves in peace, could you?"

"Come now," said Yousef. "Everyone fights an American war.”
Omar El Akkad, American War

Catherine Lacey
“It seems that people who belong to a large church might want that church - so vast, so many rooms - to do the believing for them, but the church is just a building. The church has no thoughts.”
Catherine Lacey, Pew
