Cathy Park Hong
“Patiently educating a clueless white person about race is draining. It takes all your powers of persuasion. Because it’s more than a chat about race. It’s ontological. It’s like explaining to a person why you exist, or why you feel pain, or why your reality is distinct from their reality. Except it’s even trickier than that. Because the person has all of Western history, politics, literature, and mass culture on their side, proving that you don’t exist.”
Cathy Park Hong, Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning

“The family-- predicated on the privatization of that which should be common, and on proprietary concepts of couple, blood, gene, and seed-- is a state institution, not a popular organism.”
Sophie Lewis

Cathy Park Hong
“But where does the silence that neglects her end, and where does the silence that respects her begin? The problem with silence is that it can’t speak up and say why it’s silent. And so silence collects, becomes amplified, takes on a life outside our intentions, in that silence can get misread as indifference, or avoidance, or even shame, and eventually this silence passes over into forgetting.”
Cathy Park Hong, Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning

Matt Haig
“Of course, we can't visit every place or meet every person or do every job, yet most of what we'd feel in any life is still available. We don't have to play every game to know what winning feels like. We don't have to hear every piece of music in the world to understand music. We don't have to have tried every variety of grape from every vineyard to know the pleasure of wine. Love and laughter and fear and pain are universal currencies. We just have to close our eyes and savour the taste of the drink in front of us and listen to the song as it plays. We are as completely and utterly alive as we are in any other life and have access to the same emotional spectrum.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Ellen Willis
“To refuse to fight for love that is both free and responsible is in a sense to reject the possibility of love itself.”
Ellen Willis
