“Death row is a place for broken people
just like Tom Hanks.
They can't be fixed,
warped all out of shape
by the cracks and splinters inside them.

And what else can you do with stuff that's broken
except throw it in the trash?

Right?”
― Sarah Crossan, Moonrise

“I wonder if you can overdose on words.”
― Stephanie Oakes, The Arsonist

“Our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another.”
― Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

“Books don't change lives... People change lives... Sometimes, if you're lucky, if you get the thing right, a book can say some important things and that's all fine and good... but a book is just an artifact... a thing that sits on a desk or a shelf... People make the real difference... People and love...”
― Adam Rapp, Decelerate Blue
