Langston Hughes
“Negroes
Sweet and docile,
Meek, humble, and kind:
Beware the day
They change their minds!

Wind
In the cotton fields,
Gentle breeze:
Beware the hour
It uproots trees!”
Langston Hughes

Tommy Wieringa
“Nog altijd komt het me voor als een weeffout in de schepping dat je op een dag niet meer naar de sluis fietst, geen bommetjes meer maakt in een flodderig zwembroekje, niet meer met elkaar worstelt en glad en rap als zeeleeuwen onder water zwemt om meisjes onder te trekken - dat je daar uitgroeit, te groot voor wordt, heb ik altijd beschouwd als een teken dat de ziel bestaat, en dat ze kan bederven.”
Tommy Wieringa, Caesarion

Hanya Yanagihara
“...when your child dies, you feel everything you'd expect to feel, feelings so well-documented by so many others that I won't even bother to list them here, except to say that everything that's written about mourning is all the same, and it's all the same for a reason - because there is no read deviation from the text. Sometimes you feel more of one thing and less of another, and sometimes you feel them out of order, and sometimes you feel them for a longer time or a shorter time. But the sensations are always the same.

But here's what no one says - when it's your child, a part of you, a very tiny but nonetheless unignorable part of you, also feels relief. Because finally, the moment you have been expecting, been dreading, been preparing yourself for since the day you became a parent, has come.

Ah, you tell yourself, it's arrived. Here it is.

And after that, you have nothing to fear again.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Tommy Wieringa
“Je verliest de zeggenschap die je nooit werkelijk bezeten hebt. Niemand voert de regie over zijn cellen.”
Tommy Wieringa, Caesarion

Alwyn Hamilton
“The world makes things for each place. Fish for the sea, Rocs for the mountain skies, and girls with sun in their skin and perfect aim for a desert that doesn't let weakness live.”
Alwyn Hamilton, Rebel of the Sands
