“and Bagger, already weighed down in mud and blood, further heavies in the dreary certainty that the shriek won't ever end, just like the war won't ever end, like the carnage won't ever end, it's a sentence in a book careening without periods, gasping with too many commas, a sentence that, one begun, can't ever be stopped, a sentence doomed to loop back on itself to form a terrible black wheel that, sooner or later, will drag each and every person to their grave,”
― Daniel Kraus, Angel Down

“(We are sorry we never asked questions)
(We wanted to know but were afraid)
"Of what?"
(Answers to questions have weight)
(And we wanted to stay light)
(We are sorry)”
― Daniel Kraus, Whalefall
