Deesha’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

1 highlight

He loves me, he loves me not, we are taught to say, as we tear the flower away from its flowerness. To arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration. Eviscerate me, we mean to say, and I’ll tell you the truth.

“I wanted him inside me so I could search for the ghosts inside him. In the absence of any context for who he was, I was gathering forensics from the inerasable fingerprints that had been left by those who had handled him.”
― Dolly Alderton, Ghosts
