“All propaganda is lies, even when one is telling
the truth. I don’t think this matters so long as

“Stories, they are human souls trapped in words. One soul calling to another, across pages, miles, sometimes centuries. And they tell us the thing we need to know more than anything. That we are not alone. That we can connect. Maybe the writer and the reader will never meet. Maybe the writer has been dead many years. But there is a voice saying “We have the same mind, the same thoughts. Do not worry. You are heard. You are understood.” It is this.’ Monique said, tapping her chest. ‘This is what heals us.”

“I love you like all-fire, too. You and no one else. Just like my geese, I mate for life. And then some. Forever.”
