“They had always fitted together like pieces of an unsolved (and perhaps unsolvable) puzzle- the smoke of her into the solidness of him, the solitariness of her into the gathering of him, the strangeness of her into the straightforwardness of him, the insouciance of her into the restraint of him.

“We must think about all the ways we have been brainwashed un-consciously and fight against it.

― Darrel Enck-Wanzer, The Young Lords: A Reader
