16. Favorite quote: I don’t have one, to be quite honest, though there’s plenty I’ve read and enjoyed. It would likely be Audre Lorde, if we’re going by whose words have impacted me the most.

Quotes are more of a passing fancy for me–great when they resonate, but I have a short memory. At one point, I had memorized a passage from the children’s book The Killer’s Tears, and there’s plenty of odd bits of Shakespeare rattling around in there. Ultimately, for me, it’s more about the experience of coming across the words than the words themselves. (Though I do wish I had some shored up for myself, as folks do.)

What’s yours?
