Hey readers,
Welcome back to Tuesday's Takeaways. The theme for our Top Quotes this week revolves around the National Days of Prayer and Remembrance. 
​
  • Takeaway trivia for this week: Does Brooklyn College partake in any memorial ceremony for this day?
Pain and destruction are handled differently by every person. 

Some turn to praying-

1. "prayers on my knees, sinking to the floor in bloody hallelujahs." 
-Mic Braun, TIL DEATH DO US PART

2. "Shivering, alone, shaking in fright 
Utterly alone to silently (anguishingly) pray 
Think of tomorrow to get through the night"
-Mariam Esa, THE ENDLESS NIGHT

And others lean on the human side of the nation for comfort-
3. "Rest In Peace Americans [...]
I’m saying it as my last human to human connection ​to all."

4. "It’s funny to see how everyone deals with grief"

-Alyna Valderrama, #ThisIsAmerica

but the vacuum left can be felt by all.   
5. "Someone screamed of sadness and then I heard it. Can you hear it? Nothing."
-Monia Begum, LISTEN 

6. "One day you were here, the next you were not; Time has stopped. I feel the loss again and again."
-
Sara Ahisa​r, A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE 
And now...
We at Brooklyn College wish to pay our respects to the fallen on 9/11. Please join in front of the library steps at 12:30 PM on Wednesday for a march on the East quad and a moment of silence in honor of those who lost their lives on that day.  

Next week's theme is going to be heartbreak.
Stay tuned! <3
