“Losing someone you’re close to is…like having a piece of your soul go missing that you can’t ever get back.”

“History is not dead. We have not moved on. Like Minnow and many of my other characters, I love this country because it is my home, and my parents’ home, and my grandparents’ home, and because I was raised to believe in the opportunity and equality America promises, but this does not prevent me from seeing its problems, seeing all the ways it has failed its people again and again.”

It should rest on the perpetrators but they don't carry it the way the victims do.”

“Everything’s a game, Avery Grambs. The only thing we get to decide in this life is if we play to win.”
