Hanif Abdurraqib
“If I am going to be afraid, I might as well do it honest. Arm in arm with everyone I love, adorned in blood and bruises, singing jokes on our way to the grave.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance

Alison Rumfitt
“This tower/factory is haunted, like all workplaces, haunted by the people who have done these same mechanical actions, made the same mechanical statements, cried in the disabled toilets in the middle of every shift, haunted by the feet of every person who has climbed this tower before I have, trying, desperately, not to look over their shoulder, but knowing that there is no escape because the tower doesn’t go on forever and it doesn’t lead to anywhere else.”
Alison Rumfitt, Tell Me I'm Worthless

Leigh Bardugo
“Stories exist in all worlds. They are immutable. Like gold.”
Leigh Bardugo, Hell Bent

“What good is a coherent narrative if people don’t want to hear it? Because trauma won’t leave you alone until you feel safe, and safety is not something that an individual can summon on their own. Safety is not a gun. Safety is being able to trust that those around you WANT to protect you from harm. But if those around you don’t believe you are “like them,” then they will focus on the discomfort you make them feel, and that discomfort is not a safe space.”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette

Hanif Abdurraqib
“History, both the arm holding down the drowning body and the voice claiming the water is holy.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance
