“I swear, the same people who lose their mind about their right to have a gun in a daycare are the same people who think slavery wasn't that bad. It's like, you can't even obey basic laws! Do you think you could be forced to work in captivity for someone for free till you die from it an be like, "Welp, that sure is some good eatin'!" I think the fuck not.”

“My role in our relationship is to remain reliably broken. She fixes me and I ensure I remain a mess for her to fix. It's the most functional relationship I've ever had.”

“You don't often see the in-between, do you? You don't often see the part where you walk in silence and don't touch one another, the part where the shards from an explosion float to the ground, and you have to get up again the next day. The part where you put the washing on and go to work and pretend everything is fine and all the while your chest is heaving from your invisible wounds. You see the chasms of heartbreak, the wet cheeks and dramatic sobs and hard goodbyes, but you don't see the agonised conversations with friends: the fabrications of a narrative that doesn't show us in our horrible, fractured, human light.”

“I can never figure out if he really believes the things he says he believes in, or if he's just killing time, or gets pumped up by fake news the way other people do about sport. He reels off information that not even the most poorly informed of my aunts and uncles would dream of repeating in a co-op group chat, and for Conejo it's all true, with no room for doubt: truth is a state of mind, a lifestyle choice.”
