“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“You will hear people speak of light and dark, but in my experience you must be well versed in both to find a balance.”
― Kalynn Bayron, Cinderella Is Dead

“I’ll survive this. I’ll live. But there’s a hole in me, never to be filled. Maybe that’s why people die of old age. Maybe we could live forever if we didn’t love so completely. But we do. And by the time old age comes, we’re filled with holes, so many that it’s too hard to breathe. So many that our insides aren’t even ours anymore. We’re just one big empty space, waiting to be filled by the darkness. Waiting to be free.”
― Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

“As long as I have my voice, I am still alive.”
― Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, The Mountains Sing
