David S. Atkinson
“Anyway, a bunch of penguins were living in a ceramic bowl of cold spaghetti noodles. There was no tomato sauce because it didn’t exist yet, but that was okay. As the spaghetti was cold, moisture condensed upon it. This kept the spaghetti from sticking, or from sticking to the penguins, or the bowl. It also kept the penguins from sticking to the bowl, and from sticking to each other.
As I mentioned, tomato sauce did not exist yet. You should realize since this was a beginning, the moisture didn’t either. Neither did the bowl. I think you can guess about the penguins. How could there be penguins if nothing existed yet?”
David S. Atkinson, Apocalypse All the Time

“Instead of complaining, discover ways, tactics and tricks on how to reach out to people”
Sunday Adelaja

“Because penguins are so beloved, they are uniquely capable of teaching us about love for the natural world.”
Charles Bergman, Every Penguin in the World: A Quest to See Them All

“Nothing came or went out of the tower that Gothel didn't bring herself-- or that Rapunzel did not create out of the things she had brought. And usually the things she created took days or weeks and were obvious in their coming into existence. Gothel always complained about the sawdust, the paint flecks, the experimental cheese curds...”
Liz Braswell, What Once Was Mine

“If I am going to be afraid, I might as well do it honest. Arm in arm with everyone I love, adorned in blood and bruises, singing jokes on our way to the grave.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance
