Kindle Notes & Highlights
It was important, she said; it was kind; it was best. Don’t cause distress, she said. Don’t remind people of a loss. “Do you understand, Cady? Silence is a protective coating over pain.”
Now, let me ask you this. Who killed the girls? The dragon? Or their father?
“Be a little kinder than you have to.” We are all silenced by that. It seems impossible to argue with. Then Johnny says, “Never eat anything bigger than your ass.” “You ate something bigger than your ass?” I ask. He nods, solemn. “Okay, Gat,” says Mirren. “What’s yours?” “Don’t have one.” “Come on.” “Okay, maybe.” Gat looks down at his fingernails. “Do not accept an evil you can change.”
We work for what we want, and we get ahead. We never take no for answer, and we deserve the rewards of our perseverance.

He was a person who couldn’t fake a smile but smiled often. He wrapped my wrists in white gauze and believed wounds needed attention. He wrote on his hands and asked me my thoughts. His mind was restless, relentless. He didn’t believe in God anymore and yet he still wished that God would help him.
