“Death isn’t the end of a life, but the division of it. When someone dies, their soul scatters into all the things they’ve ever given away. Love. Bruises. Gifts. You struggle to piece together what’s left—even the things that hurt—just to feel haunted.”
― Ryan La Sala, The Honeys

“Besides, it is hard to feel anything but disgust for a man sitting in his own piss and still using words like pussy.”
― Alaina Urquhart, The Butcher and the Wren

“When you eliminate the impossible, all that remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
― Jason Rekulak, Hidden Pictures

“White folk earn something from that hate. Might not be wages. But knowing we on the bottom and they set above us—just as good, maybe better.”
― P. Djèlí Clark, Ring Shout
