“In May, when coyotes howl beneath an unnervingly large moon, taller plants, such as spiderworts and black-eyed Susans, begin to creep over the tinier blooms, stealing their light and water. The necks of the smaller flowers break and their petals flutter away, and before long they are buried underground. This is why the Osage Indians refer to May as the time of the flower-killing moon.” ~ David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon

“I know you’re strong and so resilient it’s fucking unbelievable, but you don’t have to always be strong with me. It’s okay to not be okay when you’re with me ... It’s my duty as your husband to make sure you feel safe enough to be real.” ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout, The Crown of Gilded Bones

“The Trisolarans who deemed the humans bugs seemed to have forgotten one fact: The bugs have never been truly defeated.” ~ Liu Cixin, The Three Body Problem
