Ocean Vuong
“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Oscar Wilde
“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
Oscar Wilde, The Critic As Artist: With Some Remarks on the Importance of Doing Nothing and Discussing Everything

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

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Oscar Wilde
“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”
Oscar Wilde
