Bleeding Out Quotes

“To live at all is to share a world with cagey magic, skeptical magic, asshole magic. But, honestly, the trees must belong to something; the blossoms that tongue each groove between buildings, the water and the stone and the serious man-made steel railings all must belong. This major artery where blood and starlight pump along the tracks, where banks and malls and office towers shudder and gestate in the concrete like baobab trees.”
― Jes Battis, Bleeding Out

“He’s like a flower doing its best on an asteroid, naked to so many cosmic terrors.”
― Jes Battis, Bleeding Out

“The agony of having to share this small slice of world with big breakable humans who are really just uncovered beating hearts walking around spilling their viscera and their words everywhere, not bothering to clean up. Animals are a smooth punctuation to human parataxis, resisting our love out of modesty.”
― Jes Battis, Bleeding Out
