Kaveh Akbar
“How do we move through all this beauty without destroying it?”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“For all our advances in science—chickens that can go from egg to harvest in a month, planes to cross the world, missiles to shoot them down—we’ve always held the same obnoxious, rotten souls. Souls that have festered for millennia while science grew. How unfair, this copper delivery. How unfair, this life. My wounds are so much deeper than yours. The arrogance of victimhood. Self-pity. Suffocating.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“What was left of his life had no intrinsic meaning, he knew, since such meaning could only be shaped in relation to other people.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“Maybe you'll find your real ending once you stop looking for it. I think real endings tend to work their way in from the outside”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“Often in my life, in the throes of despair, of my husband's abuse, I have held the certainty of the damned, that sense of "everything is going to be just this, this misery forever, till I die." An irrepressible inescapable horror stretching out infinitely in every direction. Tragic, that only terror feels that way.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
