Kindle Notes & Highlights
you don’t ever recover from losing someone you love—even the ones you leave behind because you’re better off without them.
People always talk about how their love for you is unconditional. Then you reveal your most private self to them, and you find out how many conditions there are in unconditional love.
It’s a whole pyramid of bigotry, with people who most resemble the dominant culture at the top, and people whose difference makes them stand out at the bottom. It’s inconceivable, if you think about it, the complex ways people have come up with for being horrible to one another.
How similar does someone have to be to you before you remember to see them, first, as human?
