“Because the sunset, like survival, exists only on the verge of its own disappearing. To be gorgeous, you must first be seen, but to be seen allows you to be hunted.”

“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Grown-ups like digits. When you talk to them about a new friend, they never ask you the essential. They never tell you: “What does his voice sound like? What games does he prefers? Does he collect butterflies?” They ask you: “How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much does he weight? How much money does his father earn?” Only then, they believe they know him.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
