Quote by Lisa Gardner

“In the past, I've worried about my job's toll on me. I don't know how to compartmentalize; I don't have a trained detective's battle-hardened worldview. From the very beginning, I gravitated toward mission persons because I know I'm not cut out for murder and mayhem. Yet lately, too many of my cases have turned bloody, and I have the nightmares to prove it.”

“I don't hate white people. I hate the whole world for letting what happened to us go on the way it did. You telling me hundreds of years of torture and couldn't nobody stop it? And ain't nobody want to rectify it? Hell yeah, damn right I'm mad and I'll be mad forever, until the day I die, and even then I want them to set my coffin on fire so I can be mad in the afterlife. Because what happened to our people deserves that kind of mad. And if won't nobody else feel it, I'll goddamn feel it enough for everybody. That's my liberation.”
