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

“Success could never slice into you the way failure could. Pride could never find your guts the way shame could. Shame broke you down into rocks and then into pebbles and then into sand. Until one day you reached down into your guts that's all you felt, dry sand, that's all you were made of. All that was left to do was grab handfuls of it and fling it into the eyes of the ones who still saw you.”
― Che Yeun, Tailbone

“Their tenderness sickened me. Why couldn't I just be happy for them? Happy that tenderness existed all? Why couldn't I look it in the eye?”
― Che Yeun, Tailbone

“You cannot be upset at strangers who hurt the people you love, but ignore when the people you love hurt strangers.”
― Maggie McMuffin, We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival
