Quotes by XiXi Tian (?)

“I found out being lonely is different than being alone. Loneliness, it turns out, isn't quite as easy to escape." -Margaret”
― XiXi Tian, This Place Is Still Beautiful

“I think about all the other Asian families who stay quiet, the mothers who tell us that we only need to put our heads down and work hard to succeed in this country, the bitterness of that lie. Our community. They always tell us that we're the good ones, the ones who don't complain, the model minority. We smile as they walk all over us.”
― XiXi Tian, This Place Is Still Beautiful

“But Thom did chose, in the end. He didn't choose me.”
