Quotes by Raven Leilani  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I think of how keenly I've been wrong. I think of all the gods I have made out of feeble men.”
Raven Leilani, Luster

“It’s not that I want exactly this, to have a husband or home security system that, for the length of our marriage, never goes off. It’s that there are gray, anonymous hours like this. Hours when I am desperate, when I am ravenous, when I know how a star becomes a void.”
Raven Leilani, Luster

“I’m an open book,” I say, thinking of all the men who have found it illegible.”
Raven Leilani, Luster
