“Instead, I woke early the next morning, before sunrise, and went out into the world. I walked past my car. I stepped onto the pavement, still warm from the previous day’s sun. I started walking.

At that moment, if you had broken open my heart you could have looked inside and seen the thin white skeletons of one thousand salmon.”
― Sherman Alexie, The Toughest Indian in the World

“I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.”

“When you stop growing you start dying.”
― William S. Burroughs, Junky

― Nancy O'Meara, The Cult around the Corner: A Handbook on Dealing with Other People's Religions
