“There is a kind of crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.”
― Lemony Snicket, The End

They stayed unmoving for a few minutes, the room silent with sunlight.”
― Akwaeke Emezi, Pet

“Life, woman, life is God’s most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it.”
