“There is no God, child. There’s religion but there’s no God of theirs. Their religion tells that we will get our reward in the end. However, it apparently doesn’t say anything about their punishment. But when we’re around them, we believe in God. Oh, Lawdy Lawd, we’s be believin’. Religion is just a controlling tool they employ and adhere to when convenient.”
― Percival Everett, James

“The most radical and far-reaching solutions often need rethinking of processes and deep questioning of the status quo-and these are hard.”

“Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.”

“IF A GOD IS A THING THAT HAS ABSOLUTE POWER OVER us, then in this world there are many. There are gods that we choose and gods that we can't avoid; there are gods that we pray to and gods that prey on us; there are dreams that become gods and pasts that become gods and nightmares that do, as well. As I age I learn that there are more gods than I'll ever know, and yet I have to watch for all of them, or else they can use me or I can lose them without even realizing it.”
― Kawai Strong Washburn, Sharks in the Time of Saviors
