“The hardest thing in the world is to live only once. But it’s beautiful here, even the ghosts agree.”
― Ocean Vuong, The Emperor of Gladness

“You see, carrots become bright orange because it’s so dark in the ground. They make their own light because the sun never reaches that far—like those fish in the ocean who glow from nothing? So when you eat it, you take in the carrot’s will to go upward. To heaven.”
― Ocean Vuong, The Emperor of Gladness

“There are a few times in life when you leap up and the past that you'd been standing on falls away behind you, and the future you mean to land on is not yet in place, and for a moment you're suspended knowing nothing and no one, not even yourself.”
― Ann Patchett, The Dutch House

“«Puede que mirar un Rothko tenga algo de experiencia espiritual, pero de una clase que no admite palabras. Es como visitar los glaciares o atravesar un desierto. Pocas veces lo inadecuado del lenguaje se vuelve tan patente. Frente a Rothko, una busca frases salidas de un sermón dominical pero no encuentra más que eufemismos. Lo que uno querría decir en realidad es “puta madre”».”
