“I keep dreaming about showing up late to my own funeral,
everyone tapping their feet as I climb into the casket—”
― Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

“Among a growing list of promises I can’t make my friends: This weight will tether. You can come back up again. The faithfulness of gravity, of morning sounds. If only you’ll stay.”
― Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

“I sang in order to feel the wasted horizon in the pain of a
dove
not to explain what God says to man
I'm no prophet
I don't proclaim that my fall is an ascent”
― Mahmoud Darwish, Mural
