Warsan Shire
“We took such care of tomorrow, but died on the way there.”
Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“I have my mother’s mouth and my father’s eyes; on my face they are
still together.”
Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“Apathy is the same as war, it all kills you, she says. Slow like cancer in the breast or fast like a machete in the neck.”
Warsan Shire, Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth

Hanya Yanagihara
“But what was happiness but an extravagance, an impossible state to maintain, partly because it was so difficult to articulate?”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Tennessee Williams
“Yes, movies! Look at them — All of those glamorous people — having adventures — hogging it all, gobbling the whole thing up! You know what happens? People go to the movies instead of moving! Hollywood characters are supposed to have all the adventures for everybody in America, while everybody in America sits in a dark room and watches them have them! Yes, until there's a war. That's when adventure becomes available to the masses! Everyone's dish, not only Gable's! Then the people in the dark room come out of the dark room to have some adventures themselves — Goody, goody! — It's our turn now, to go to the south Sea Island — to make a safari — to be exotic, far-off! — But I'm not patient. I don't want to wait till then. I'm tired of the movies and I am about to move!”
Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
