These tribes speak a language called Englisc, which kind of sounds like a troll language from Lord of the Rings, with lots of rolled r’s, dark vowels, and throaty, phlegmy consonants.

“I’m so mad that my fingertips tingle; I feel like I could zap this man with the pent-up energy like a ragey adult Matilda. “Van Gogh was really sick!” I want to yell at him. “Tell your kid that mental illness can be very hard, and how important health care and access are, how we have to talk about it.”

“Stop saying the c-word." Moritz, I'm not looking for a cure. Really, I can't imagine being someone who didn't see the world how I do. Can you imagine if someone tried to hand you some eyeballs? You'd flush them down a toilet. With dignity.
As a kid, I daydreamed about being normal, like kids with glasses still daydream about being astronauts. Daydreams aren't realistic. I only wanted normal because I thought normal was a word that meant "surviving the world.”

“When someone dies, everything about them becomes past tense. Except for the grief. Grief stays in the present. It’s even worse when you’re angry at the person. Not just for dying. But for how.”

“Our bodies and minds are always working together, but we don’t always treat them as two equally important parts of who we are. It is far easier, for example, to take a day off from life because of the flu than it is to take one off because of having a case of the sads. But both of these things are valid and have a tremendous impact on how we move through the world.”

“I’m supposed to read The Book Thief. I read the first chapter, and let me tell you, it sounds GRIM. Pro tip, Mom: It’s not summer reading if the narrator is actual Death Incarnate.”
