Monica’s Notes & Highlights

Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter

1 note & 3 highlights

“I don’t know what you’re getting at. You’re too attached to your own feelings. Life isn’t so complicated as you make it for yourself.” The words were her stinger, aiming for the heart.

“In this hallucinatory global political climate, in which bigoted notions about national identity, sect, and race have reared their heads to a degree not seen in many decades, Trump’s statements gained him a sizeable American following. It is distressingly clear that the fears and hatreds he has unleashed—especially since he, and not Hillary Clinton, won the election to become president—will not be easily put to rest.”
― Valeria Luiselli, Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions

“It is not even the American Dream that they pursue, but rather the more modest aspiration to wake up from the nightmare into which they were born.”

“I tell you this time and time again, sweetie. There’s nothing back here for you. You couldn’t have stayed. It was time for you to go.”
