Beth & Beyond

“Adults are always scared. They hid it in a million ways—caution or confidence, disinterest or anger, a firm hand or a warm embrace or sage advice—but the fear was always there if you knew how to see it.”
― Moses Ose Utomi, The Lies of the Ajungo

“And then like Pandora, opening the great big box of the world and not being afraid, not even caring whether what’s inside is good or bad. Because it’s both. Everything is always both. But you have to open it to find that out.”
― M.R. Carey, The Girl With All the Gifts
