Laertes

“A baseball bat with nails. A tamper. A .45. It occurred to Buddy Lee that everything could be a weapon if you were dedicated enough. Even love. Especially love.”
― S.A. Cosby, Razorblade Tears

“Love is a gift. Mariam's words stick with me. People are more concerned by what two men or two women do in bed than about love. Love is companionship, feeling content and safe in the arms of another person. It is the mundane moments when you know the other person is there but you don't need to speak - their presence is enough, the meals shared, the walks taken, not just sex. What is so wrong about that?”
― Tufayel Ahmed, This Way Out

“The truth is, no one can be fully protected. There is no such thing as safety. Just downtime between tragedies.”
― S.A. Cosby, My Darkest Prayer

“Death is a guillotine blade hanging over our heads, reminding us every second of every day that this life we treasure so much is no more important to the universe than those of the two hundred thousand insects each of us kills with the front of our car every year.”
― Neil Strauss, Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life
