Susan Sontag
“My loyalty to the past—my most dangerous trait, the one that has cost me most.”
Susan Sontag

James Baldwin
“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.”
James Baldwin

M.L. Rio
“For someone who loved words as much as I did, it was amazing how often they failed me.”
M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

Sabahattin Ali
“It is, perhaps, easier to dismiss a man whose face gives no indication of an inner life. And what a pity that is: a dash of curiosity is all it takes to stumble upon treasures we never expected. That”
Sabahattin Ali, Madonna in a Fur Coat

Ocean Vuong
“When does a war end? When can I say your name and have it mean only your name and not what you left behind?”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
