Quotes by Kirsten Bakis  (?)

“There was something in her black eyes that was as insubstantial as light but at the same time slower and darker than water, slower than anything I had ever seen. It reminded me of one of those moments of sadness that sometimes come when you're waiting for an inconsequential thing, like an elevator or a stop on the subway, and feel a pause that is so still that it seals itself up around you, lifts away from the stream of time, and hangs suspended there. I felt drawn toward her, the way molecules in motion are drawn toward empty spaces.”
Kirsten Bakis, Lives of the Monster Dogs

“A dog has no money. A dog has no rights. A dog has no way to communicate his grievances. I am a dog. God help me.”
Kirsten Bakis, Lives of the Monster Dogs

“So we burn, Cleo, but we must burn joyfully, and give off light.”
Kirsten Bakis, Lives of the Monster Dogs
