Quotes by Claire Wong (?)

“When people who remember her better than me talk of her, she is always described as headstrong and irresponsible, which, if you think about it, are just different words for untameable. The wind is untameable, and so are rivers, and there is something poetic in that.”
― Claire Wong, The Runaway

tags: headstrong, irresponsibility, irresponsible, mother, poetic, remember, reminiscing, stubborn, untameable, untamed, untamed-one

Sometimes it feels as though I’m defined by all the people I’ve lost , like one of those negative-space pictures, where what’s not there is just as important as what is.”
