Roar of the Lambs Quotes

“Apollo felt like they were staring at themself. They were a place falling apart and abandoned, and their parents thought they could wait it out, let the world keep bearing down and chocking out Apollo's life until nothing else grew and they finally became docile. It was easy to pretend Apollo was a problem, that they didn't exist, until all the nasty things that compromised them went away.

So Apollo did them a favor, and they still hadn't said a word.

It was a particular kind of loneliness, to have parents still alive in the world and feel their absence nonetheless.”
― Jamison Shea, Roar of the Lambs
