“I've been afraid of the knot of shame that was tied in my belly then: the shame of earnest belief. Don't let them see the thing you love, I wanted to shout at you, but it was too late. I wanted to cover your mouth. I'd already learned from my father and my bullies that believing in something, for people like you and me, was a punishable crime.”
― Zeyn Joukhadar, The Thirty Names of Night
