“In days that follow, I discover that anger is easier to handle than grief.”
“Anger is easier than forgiveness.”
“Anger was better than tears, better than grief, better than guilt.”
“It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value”
“I know the anger lies inside of me like I know the beat of my heart and the taste of my spit. It is easier to be furious than to be yearning. Easier to crucify myself in you than to take on the threatening universe of whiteness by admitting that we are worth wanting each other.”
“Tis easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.”
