Alligator Tears Quotes

“Lying gave me my body back. My power. Besides”
― Edgar Gomez, Alligator Tears: A Memoir in Essays

“It frustrates me to think that the people I love may never be rewarded with everything they deserve, but I’m comforted by the fact that they don’t let the current bleakness of the world keep them from fighting to make it a better place. Every day they claim their joy, dreaming out loud with me on the phone, dancing in line outside Friend’s, marching through the streets. I don’t know what happens after, when this is all over. But wherever they’re going, that’s where I’m trying to go too.”
