“We never called this place ours like that, though, but that didn't mean it was yours.”
― Stephen Graham Jones, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

“it wasn’t us, it would have been another regiment,” I said, calmer again. “You can’t stop a country from happening, Good Stab.” “But we were already a nation,” he said up to me. “We didn’t ask you to come.”

― Stephen Graham Jones, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

“Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.”
