“I don’t trust people who don’t love a place to understand how that place remembers its dead. The living who throw an item the dead once cherished toward heaven, wrap it around the highest wire. So high that it looks like the shoes are swinging from the sky itself. Like two legs are hanging down from the edge of a cloud.”

“I do not waste time or language on our enemies, beloveds. But if I ever did, I would tell them that there is a river between what they see
and what they know. And they don't have the heart to cross it.”
Never have I ever thought that a book about basketball would make me feel this much.

“And nothing felt more like love to me than imagining this. A man whose face I hadn't grown into yet, wielding an immovable mirror which is, always, a sort of promise which, through your staring, might whisper to you Yes, this is what you have now. Yes, the future has its arms open, waiting for you to run.” I didn’t expect a book about Basketball to hit me this hard. The prose is magnificent.
