“Fear of this,” I choked, and touched my cheeks. “Fear of breaking. Of weeping. Of grieving. There is a lifetime of grief inside me. It is in my chest and in my belly. It is in my head and in my arms. My legs ache with it. My feet too. It is beneath my skin and in my blood, and I can’t . . . hold . . . anymore.”
― Amy Harmon, A Girl Called Samson

“How little we know, I thought, of the people we live amongst.”
