Kaveh Akbar
“What I want to say is that I was happy. Not always, not even mostly. But I did know real, deep joy. Maybe everyone gets a certain amount to use up over a lifetime, and I just used my lifetime’s allotment especially quickly, with Leila. But I don’t think it was a tragedy, my life. Tragedies are relentless. Nobody could ask for more than what I’ve had.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“What do you, specifically, want from your unprecedented, never-to-be-repeated existence?”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“Cyrus also worried that the whole idea of gratitude was possibly classist, or worse. Did a poor Syrian child, whose living and dying had been indelibly shaped by the murderous whims of evil men, qualify for grace only if she possessed a superhuman ability to look beyond her hardship and notice the beauty of a single flower growing through a pile of rubble? And would the gratitude for that flower be contaminated by the awareness, or ignorance, of the bodies turning to soil beneath it?”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“Expendable” may seem a bad word to use to describe your own life, except I actually find it liberating. The way it vents away all pressure to become. How it asks only that you be.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Yūko Tsushima
“People depend on their misfortunes. We curse them, but we're actually wedded to them, proud of them even.”
Yūko Tsushima, Of Dogs and Walls
