“Did you know you have the chance to be the first black queen in Campbell history?”
I swallow. I did know that. Of course I know that. But I don’t like it being held against me. I don’t like the implication in her tone.
You could make history if you just follow our rules.
You could be a real credit to your people if you just straighten up and fly right.
You could actually be worth something if you would shut up and take what we give you.”

“Stories can die. Of course they can. Ask any author who's had an idea wither in their head, fail to thrive and bear fruit. Or a book that spoke to you as a child but upon revisiting it was silent and empty. Stories can die from neglect, from abuse, from rot. Even war, as Shakespeare warned, can turn books to graves.
We seek to preserve the books, of course. But we forget the flip side of that duty: treasure what we have. Honor the stories that speak to you, that give you something you need to keep going. Cherish stories while they are here.
There's a reason the unwritten live on something as fragile as paper.”
