"Some days Artis had to remind himself that his dad actually existed, that his mother was not a phantom. Remembering the dead was hard work."-Janelle Monáe, The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer
"Hearing her name, she gathered herself within the span of normalcy, just barely escaping the extra beat that would have made it weird. "Hey," she said. "I'm good, good."-Janelle Monáe, The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer
"Grandpapa and even Artis's friends believed that New Dawn was the most dangerous thing in their world. But Artis knew that wasn't true. Hope was. Having too much, having too little. Trying to work out that invisible balance so you don't get crushed but also don't float away was labor Artis didn't always feel strong enough to do. It hurt too much to hope sometimes. Better to just be, take whatever comes as gracefully as you can, 'cuz it's coming anyway, whether you want it or not."-Janelle Monáe, The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer
