“My disabled body is beautiful in its distinctiveness. My body might be more crooked than yours, but it has earned its spiky edges. My leg might be blue from lack of circulation, but it sparkles like sapphires. My nerves are on fire, but it is fire that releases the sequoia cones that germinate the forest. My spasms are sharp as ice, but ice is what regulates the ocean's tide. My disabled body is made of the same stuff as stars.”
― Amy Kenny, My Body Is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church

“The everything remained like an unfinished poem, like something that switches off and we can't prevent it, we can't, then everything remained.”
― Marcial Gala, The Black Cathedral

“A home is an origin story. A home is a thing to carry. A home is a wild field of energy that floods floods floods. Call me. Call me home.”
― Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars
