Quotes by Lan Cao  (?)

“The miracle of it is this: how little things from such a long time ago can still be remembered as if they had occurred only yesterday.”
Lan Cao, The Lotus and the Storm

“Things that matter come in sets of twos. Two eyes, two ears. Two kisses on the cheeks, one on each. Two lungs. Two arms. Two legs. I would not be completely blind if I lost one eye... But because we have one heart, there is no second one that can serve as a reserve when the first is stricken by sorrow.”
Lan Cao, The Lotus and the Storm

“We were, after all, a ragtag accumulation of unwanted, an awkward reminder of a war the whole country was trying to forget.”
Lan Cao, Monkey Bridge
