“The historian Burns once wrote, “To believe that the Osages survived intact from their ordeal is a delusion of the mind. What has been possible to salvage has been saved and is dearer to our hearts because it survived. What is gone is treasured because it was what we once were. We gather our past and present into the depths of our being and face tomorrow. We are still Osage. We live and we reach old age for our forefathers.”
― David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

“I want to belong to you, like a name. I want to be a thing people have to know to know you.”
