Quotes by Grace Talusan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Does one belong more to the country where one is born or the country where one is buried? I belong to both places and neither. As it is, I’ve rarely ever felt as though I belonged to a particular place; I’ve only ever belonged to people; to those who I love.”
Grace Talusan

“I was like everyone else until I walked by a plate-glass window or bathroom mirror or saw a photo of myself with my friends, who in that image became my white friends.”
Grace Talusan, The Body Papers

“Immigration is a kind of death. You leave one life for another one with no guarantee of seeing your loved ones or home again.”
Grace Talusan, The Body Papers
