Book cover for Faithful Place (Dublin Murder Squad #3)
My father once told me that the most important thing every man should know is what he would die for. If you don’t know that, he said, what are you worth? Nothing. You’re not a man at all.

Alexandre Dumas
“Come, come. Enough of poison. Now that my heart is full of it, let us go and find the antidote.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

N.K. Jemisin
“But there are none so frightened, or so strange in their fear, as conquerors. They conjure phantoms endlessly, terrified that their victims will someday do back what was done to them—even if, in truth, their victims couldn’t care less about such pettiness and have moved on. Conquerors live in dread of the day when they are shown to be, not superior, but simply lucky.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Stone Sky

Ibram X. Kendi
“The integrationist transformation of King as color-blind and race-neutral erases the actual King. He did not live to integrate Black spaces and people into White oblivion. If he did, then why did he build low-income Atlanta apartments “using Negro workmen, Negro architects, Negro attorneys, and Negro financial institutions throughout,” as he proudly reported in 1967? Why did he urge Black people to stop being “ashamed of being Black,” to invest in their own spaces? The child of a Black neighborhood, church, college, and organization lived to ensure equal access to public accommodations and equal resources for all racialized spaces, an antiracist strategy as culture-saving as his nonviolence was body-saving.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Hans Bemmann
“I tell you what, sometimes you get so obstinate you have to be gently forced to see where your happiness lies.”
Hans Bemmann, The Stone and the Flute

Ibram X. Kendi
“Estimated losses from white-collar crimes are believed to be between $300 and $600 billion per year, according to the FBI. By comparison, near the height of violent crime in 1995, the FBI reported the combined costs of burglary and robbery to be $4 billion.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist
