Quotes by Viet Dinh (?)

“You cannot find what you need. You must create what you need for yourself.”
― Viet Dinh, After Disasters

“The moment the earthquake hits, Ted has a premonition: a burning sensation on his feet. Not the pins and needles from sitting cross-legged for too long, but like the restlessness of the soles after standing on the subway for an hour. Like the blood wants to burst from his skin. No blinding vision, no sudden trance—it’s not until weeks later that he realizes what the feeling was. But in the future, he won’t tell the story this way.”
― Viet Dinh, After Disasters
