Quotes by K. Makansi (?)

“we sit in silence except for the trilling of the birds in the treetops, the rushing of the water in the streambed, and the building hum of shared hope. Hope that hate is not the answer, that it never was and never will be. That we can create something together that is greater than what we could create by ourselves. That love will always transcend our pasts.”
― K. Makansi, The Reaping

“We think we improve on nature through science, through advanced agricultural practices, through manipulation of DNA, through this and that and the other. But we are always wrong. There is only nature, and we are part of it. If we set ourselves in opposition to nature, it will always rise up against us, eventually. And it will win.” I sense that, like me,”
― K. Makansi, The Reaping
