Quotes by Jami Nakamura Lin (?)

“As Clarice Lispector says, “Who has not asked himself at some time or other: Am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person?”7 Perhaps the very certain, the very confident do not ask themselves this; perhaps they should. Perhaps the certainty that you are not the monster—that no matter what you do, you will never become the monster—is what gives rise to monstrous behavior. To never question yourself or the people you listen to. To never question your stories, or your ghosts, or your gods.”

“Each time you tell a story, you can massage the tale to fit your needs. You can gauge the audience’s reactions, alter the form or the tense or the point of view.”
― Jami Nakamura Lin, The Night Parade: A Speculative Memoir

“I believed in such power—the was, the is, the is to come—I just also believed in his ability to withhold it.”
