“It's like people you see sometimes, and you can't imagine what it would be like to be that person, whether it's somebody in a wheelchair or somebody who can't talk. Only, I know that I'm that person to other people, maybe to every single person in that whole auditorium. To me, though, I'm just me. An ordinary kid.”

Leaving a wheelchair behind couldn't possibly show up on the radar compared to that." "You've got to be kidding me.""I never kid about my warrior demigod status.”

“With hardly any effort at all, she made me feel special. Just like all the other people she toyed with.”

“I'm like any other kid; I've seen the monsters in the closet and under the bed. The only difference between me and other kids is...the monsters are afraid of me..." (Angel)Night School: A Dasheen "Angel" Vampire Hunter novel”

“she knew what she wanted and it wasn't / me. / I know more women like that than any / other kind.”
