Book cover for The World That We Knew
In Berlin evil came to them slowly and then all at once. The rules changed by the hour, the punishments grew worse, and the angel in the black coat wrote down so many names in his Book of Death there was no room for the newly departed.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“But I cannot always run, and each time I am forced to squarely confront my grief—when I read the death certificate, when I draft a death announcement—I feel a shimmering panic. In such moments, I notice a curious physical reaction: my body begins to shake, fingers tap uncontrollably, one leg bobbing. I am unable to quiet myself until I look away. How do people walk around functioning in the world after losing a beloved father? For the first time in my life, I am enamored of sleeping pills, and, in the middle of a shower or a meal, I burst into tears.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I must spare my lovedones my endless roiling thoughts. I must conceal just how hard grief's iron clamp is.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Kelly Barnhill
“A good scientist must remain curious, open-minded, humble, and above all, obedient to the data, and to the facts.”
Kelly Barnhill, When Women Were Dragons

“Don’t leave your teen with the choice between obediently toeing the line or acting like a lunatic to exert some level of control over life.”
Jerusha Clark, Your Teenager Is Not Crazy: Understanding Your Teen's Brain Can Make You a Better Parent

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“In truth, at first it is a protective stance, a shrinking from further pain, because I am drained limp from crying, and to speak about it would be to cry again. But later it is because I want to sit alone with my grief. I want to protect—hide? hide from?—these foreign sensations, this bewildering series of hills and valleys.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief
