Quotes by Sharlene Teo (?)

“She became invincibly beautiful: the clarity of her cheeks, her little ankles, and the lucid poetry others projected onto her blank expression.”
― Sharlene Teo, Ponti

“I worry where the mynah birds are hiding. I get a sinking dread about their well-being. I open my eyes and peer into Circe's face. She looks calm, almost beautiful. The darkness in her room is inky and tinged with cobalt blue. The air fizzles like television static. Circe mumbles and draws me towards her. She breathes on me, my mouth no more than three inches away from hers. She smells like Kodomo lion toothpaste and Gardenia bread. I know from this moment that these two things will always remind me of her, with a flinch, an ache. And maybe because of this, over time I will learn to avoid them.”
― Sharlene Teo, Ponti

“Isn't this what magazines mean by star quality: that ineffable thing, charisma? No matter what we say, we humans are fundamentally shallow; it's encoded in our eyes and monkey brains. I have never met anyone like Amisa Tan. She had a brand of bruised yet appealing insouciance that I wanted to grow into one day myself.”
― Sharlene Teo, Ponti
