Some quotes from Hanif Aburraqib
Some quotes from Hanif Abdurraqib that I liked from a podcast episode of Gayotic with MUNA. This is the only episode of the podcast that I have heard.It's this idea that if grief is to be ever present, if grief is to kinda make a home in all of us, and be immovable, then I think we deserve to be good stewards to it. We deserve to be gentle to it, and it, in turn, might be gentle to us.
...if I left myself alone, to my own devices, I would trend towards nihilism. Many of us would. If we're lucky, we love people who are not us. We love people for whom the stakes of survival are different.
