“Victims exist in a society that tells us our purpose is to be an inspiring story. But sometimes the best we can do is tell you we're still here, and that should be enough. Denying darkness does not bring anyone closer to the light. When you hear a story about rape, all the graphic and unsettling details, resist the instinct to turn away; instead loo closer, because beneath the gore and the police reports is a whole, beautiful person, looking for ways to be in the world again.”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“People look so beautiful when their expressions show that they know they have a future.”
― Banana Yoshimoto, The Lake

“Political issues are too serious to be left only to politicians.”
― Slavoj Žižek

“It's the hope that kills you, you know that? It lingers there every day. Makes you think she could just reappear.”
― Ed James, Worth Killing For
