I want to go home, but home is the mouth of a shark. Home is the barrel of a gun. No one would leave home unless home chased you to the shore. No one would leave home until home is a voice in your ear saying—leave, run, now. I don’t know what I’ve become.

— Warsan Shire, from “Home,” Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head

I said, “Don’t touch my mouth. There’s teeth in there,”

and you replied,

“There’s teeth everywhere on you.”

— Avni Vyas, from Little God

[nightlyquotes]

“My life is made up of ‘I’m sorry’. I feel like I have to apologize to people, to things, to life itself. It’s like, ‘I’m sorry to be here’. I don’t want to disturb anyone.”

— Yohji Yamamoto
