“Letters
I've never sent.

This life
we're only renting.

Battered the world is -
bartered -
wander over it
the stars finding

us wanting.”
― Kevin Young, Book of Hours: Poems

“There wasn't a single cell in our bodies that was the same as the day we were born, and yet we were still held responsible for everything all of our formers selves had ever done.”
― Jennifer duBois, Cartwheel

“I have come to know
sorrow's
not noun
but verb, something
that, unlike living,
by doing right
you do less of.”
― Kevin Young, Book of Hours: Poems

“In Miss Chen's English class, we learned, 'To be or not to be...' but there's a big gray area in between. Maybe in Shakespeare times people only had two options. Griffin Wilson, he knew that the SATs were just the gateway to a big lifetime of bullshit. To get married and college. To paying taxes and trying to raise a kid who's not a school shooter. And Griffin Wilson knew drugs are only a patch. After drugs, you're always going to need more drugs.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread
