Quotes by Fae Myenne Ng (?)

“I believe in holding still. I believe that the secrets we hold in our hearts are our anchors, that even the unspoken between us is a measure of our every promise to the living and to the dead. And all our promises, like all our hopes, move us through life with the power of an ocean liner pushing through the sea.”
― Fae Myenne Ng, Bone

Open the mouth and tell.”
