“I saw things in that war that a man shouldn't ever have see. Things that make you forget we're human and not just a bunch of beasts crawling out of the sludge somewhere. And the damnedest part of it all is, I couldn't for the life of me remember what we were fighting for in the first place.”
― Libba Bray, Lair of Dreams

“Too many stories start with gods making promises they can't keep.”
― Bea Fitzgerald, Girl, Goddess, Queen

“Sometimes it's good to flush mid-shit to make some room. The existential question I always ask myself is: Am I the shit, or the shitt-er?”

“There is a thing that happens with children: If no one is watching them, nothing is really happening to them. It is not some philosophical conundrum like the one about the tree falling in the forest and no one hearing it: that is a puzzler for college freshman. No. If you are very small, you actually understand that there is no point in jumping into the swimming pool unless they see you do it. The child crying, ‘‘Watch me, watch me,’’ is not begging for attention; he is pleading for existence itself.”
― M.R. Montgomery, Saying Goodbye: A Memoir for Two Fathers
