“Could it be that we matter?”
Patrisse Khan-Cullors, When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir

“He loves as is, which is a gift I wish for all of us to receive, the gift of being loved simply because of who you are, not in spite of it, not with condition, not loved in parts.”

“There is someone I must meet again. And until that day...not even death himself can take my life away.”
Roronoa Zoro

“When I speak at universities, in colleges, I share these statistics. I tell them that even as we are labeled criminal, we are actually the victims of crime. And I tell them there are no stats to track collateral deaths, the ones that unfold over months and years spent in mourning and grief: the depression that becomes addiction to alcohol that becomes cirrhosis; or else addiction to food that becomes diabetes that becomes a stroke . Slow deaths . Undocumented deaths. Deaths with a common root: the hatred that tells a person daily that their life and the life of those they love ain't worth shit, a truth made ever more real when the people who harm you are never held accountable.”
Patrisse Khan-Cullors, When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir

Each morning comes along and you assume it will be similar enough to the previous
“Each morning comes along and you assume it will be similar enough to the previous one—that you will be safe, that your family will be alive, that you will be together, that life will remain mostly as it was. Then a moment arrives and everything changes.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land
