“Hello,” I say, and his body goes completely still for a moment before he looks up at me. He glances over his shoulder, as though wondering if I’m speaking to someone behind him. I grin. “Hello, you.” “Hi.” I sit down across from him. “How

“¿Qué importa quién mató a
quién? Los dos matamos a alguien. ¿Pero acaso todos los seres
humanos no somos iguales? ¿No valemos lo mismo? Un clearing. El
día de nuestro juicio, Ernesto y yo nos podremos quejar de que no
cometimos el crimen que se nos imputa, pero no vamos a poder
decir que somos inocentes. En el fondo, nadie es inocente. Aunque
todos seamos animalitos de Dios. Alicia, Charo, Ernesto, yo. Matar a
uno o a otro no cambia mayormente la pena o el castigo. Sí la culpa.
Yo no me hubiera permitido matar a Alicia. Mucho menos a Ernesto,
que es el padre de mi hija.
A Tuya sí. Tuya es otra cosa.”

“I don’t hold a grudge. I cradle it. I coddle it. I feed it fine cuts of meat and send it to the best schools. I nurture my grudges, Rollins.”

“Remember when it was this great big secret? Now everyone knows, and everyone wants to shoot something. Fucking humans, man. Now, where are my guns? I want to shoot something.”

“I take a longer look at the words on her headstone.
Brave, kind, loyal, sweet, loving, graceful, strong, thoughtful, funny, genuine, hopeful, playful, insightful, and on and on…
Was she, though? Was she any of those things? The words make me angry. I can’t look at them any longer.
Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can’t we be honest about them?”
― I'm Glad My Mom Died

“I want you—"
"Then fucking have me."
"—but I don't want this."
Alex wants to grab Henry and shake him, wants to scream in his face, wants to smash every priceless antique in the room.
"What does that even mean?"
"I don't want it!" Henry practically shouts. His eyes are flashing, wet and angry and afraid. "Don't you bloody see? I'm not like you. I can't afford to be reckless. I don't have a family who will support me. I don't go about shoving who I am in everyone's faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life. I'm allowed, all right, and it doesn't make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don't get to come here and call me a coward for it.”
