Kaveh Akbar
“When people think about travelling to the past, they do it with this wild sense of self-importance. Like, ‘gosh, I better not step on that flower or my grandfather will never be born.’ But in the present we mow our lawns and poison ants and skip parties and miss birthdays all the time. We never think of the effects of that stuff… Nobody thinks of now as the future past.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“The difference between wanting to not be alive and wanting to die.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“Cyrus, for months, every song I've listened to has been directly about me. About my life. And my stupid fucking life with you. Every flower has been blooming straight into my fucking face. Do you know what that is? It's like being insane. Like the fucking pigeons are speaking to me. Have you ever felt that? Do you have any idea what I'm even talking about?”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Omar El Akkad
“A person the system was never built to serve bears the responsibility of dreaming up a better one, and who can say how much better?”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Kaveh Akbar
“If the moral sin of suicide is greed, to hoard stillness and calm for yourself while dispersing your riotous internal pain among all those who survive you, then the mortal sin of the martyr must be pride, the vanity, the hubris to believe not only that your death could mean more than your living, but that your death could mean more than death itself — which, because it is inevitable, means nothing”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
