Power isn’t doing something to someone who’s weaker than you. It’s having the strength to do something terrible, and choosing not to.

I don’t know what it is about death that makes it so hard. I suppose it’s the one sided communication; the fact that we never get to ask our loved one if she suffered, if she is happy wherever she is now... if she is somewhere. It’s the question mark that comes with death that we can’t face, not the period.

I think about being the kind of person who stands up for what she believes in, instead of denying what’s right before her eyes.

Hunger, she often tells me, has nothing to do with the belly and everything to do with the mind.
