“If there is any such thing as a sign, if there is anything compassionate in the brutality that is being alive... I reach forward and brush my fingers against the spine. A book I had not considered before, not in any real seriousness, as an instructional. A way of life that is not quiet or secret or tucked away. How silly of me. How silly of us, to think we must do in shadow what men do in the light. What they have always done. How blind I have been.” — C.J. Leede
