“What they don’t realize is this: Yes, they frighten me, but I have always been scared, since the day I got here. I was raised by the man who murdered my parents, reared in a land of monsters. I live with that fear, let it settle into my bones, and ignore it. If I didn’t pretend not to be scared, I would hide under my owl-down coverlets in Madoc’s estate forever. I would lie there and scream until there was nothing left of me. I refuse to do that. I will not do that.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“But you are a scientist. You understand how this works. We study the universe in order to know, yet in the end the only thing we truly know is that all thing end- all but death and time. It's difficult to be reminded of that-" he patted her hand where it lay on the table-"but it's harder to forget.”
― Lily Brooks-Dalton, Good Morning, Midnight

“Corn, beans, and squash were once all my people needed. They were so essential to our everyday lives that we referred to them as our sisters. We would preserve each plant's seeds and pass them on to our children, knowing that with this gift, they would be able to provide the same nutritious food for their families that we provided for them. This was an act of absolute, undiminished intergenerational love. And if intergenerational trauma can alter DNA, why can't intergenerational love?”
― Alicia Elliott, A Mind Spread Out on the Ground

“She taught me I didn't own things. I really liked the idea of possession. We don't own our mothers. We don't own our bodies or our land - maybe I'm unsure. We become the land when we are buried in it. Our grandmothers have been uprooted and shelved in boxes, place on slabs of plastic, or packed neatly in rooms or turned into artifact- all after proper burials. Indians aren't always allowed to rest in peace. I want to be buried in a bone garden with my ancestors someday. I'd like to belong to that.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries
