Ocean Vuong
“What is a country but a life sentence?”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“But why can't the language for creativity be the language of regeneration? You killed that poem, we say. You're a killer. You came into that novel guns blazing. I am hammering this paragraph, I am banging them out, we say. I owned that workshop. I shut it down. I crushed them. We smashed the competition. I'm wrestling with the muse. The state, where people live, is a battleground state. The audience a target audience. "Good for you, man" a man once said to me at a party, "you're making a killing with poetry. You're knockin' em dead.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Alejandro Jodorowsky
“Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky

Ocean Vuong
“Sometimes you are erased before you are given the choice of stating who you are.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Tony Kushner
“It can be very hard to accept how disappointing life is, Harper, because that's what it is, and you have to accept it. With faith and time and hard work you reach a point where ... where the disappointment doesn't hurt as much, and then it gets easy to live with. Quite easy. Which ... is in its own way a disappointment.”
tony kushner, Angels in America
