“Death needs a new cosmology. Death is not a black hole where things cease to be. If you want to live well, keep death close.

Even our hopelessness as a form of decomposing and falling away that is sacred”
― Bayo Akomolafe

“We can’t fight against evil. That’s the most unbearable thing about the world we have built. Evil can’t be eradicated, can’t be locked up, the more violence we use against it, the stronger it becomes when it seeps out under doors and through keyholes. It can never disappear because it grows inside us, sometimes even in the best of us, sometimes even in fourteen-year-olds. We have no weapons against it. We have only been given love as a gift in order to cope with it.”
― Fredrik Backman, The Winners
