Claire Lombardo
“The thing that nobody warned you about adulthood was the number of decisions you’d have to make, the number of times you’d have to depend on an unreliable gut to point you in the right direction, the number times you’d still feel like an eight-year-old, waiting for your parents to step in and save you from peril.”
Claire Lombardo, The Most Fun We Ever Had

Adib Khorram
“It's just hard," I said. "Everyone knows everyone. And everyone speaks Farsi. And everyone knows the dances. And I..." ..."Darioush." Sohrab bumped my shoulder again. "No one wants me here." "Everyone wants you here. We have a saying in Farsi. It translates to 'your place was empty'. We say it when we miss somebody." I sniffed. "Your place was empty before. But this is your family. You belong here.”
Adib Khorram, Darius the Great Is Not Okay

Ryan Andrews
“No one is going to force you to, but if you don't jump in, you'll always think back on this moment and wish that you had.”
Ryan Andrews, This Was Our Pact

Dan Gemeinhart
“I just wanted everyone to be happy...It's hard, though, when everyone carries around a heart inside them that is so loud and so strong and so easily broken.”
Dan Gemeinhart, The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise

Emmanuel Acho
“The beautiful thing about the piano is that you got white keys and you got black keys. And the only way to make the most beautiful, magnificent, and poetic noise is with both sets of keys working in tandem. You can’t just play all white keys, because you won’t maximize what the instrument has to offer. You can’t just play all black keys, because you won’t maximize what the instrument has to offer. But integrate the white and black keys together, and that is when the piano makes a joyful noise.”
Emmanuel Acho, Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man
