Cris Beam
“A review in the Journal of the American Medical Association of thirty-six studies that looked at the physical growth, cognition, language and motor skills, behavior, attention, affect, and neurophysiology found no connection between prenatal exposure to cocaine and a decrease in functioning.”
― Cris Beam

Mihail Sol
“had lived before. I knew this the way I knew to float: without thinking, without needing anyone to explain it to me. The knowledge was simply there, woven into whatever I was before I became this.”
― Mihail Sol, Iris and the Ocean of Remembering: Before the First Breath
