Ann Napolitano
“She was no longer who she used to be, and she wasn't yet whoever she was becoming.”
Ann Napolitano, Hello Beautiful

Hua Hsu
“Derrida remarked that friendship’s driver isn’t the pursuit of someone who is just like you. A friend, he wrote, would “choose knowing rather than being known.” I had always thought it was the other way around.”
Hua Hsu, Stay True: A Memoir

James   McBride
“Light is only possible through dialogue between cultures, not through rejection of one or the other.”
James McBride, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store

Hua Hsu
“Even then, they understood that American life is unbounded promise and hypocrisy, faith and greed, new spectrums of joy and self-doubt, freedom enabled by enslavement. All of these things at once.”
Hua Hsu, Stay True: A Memoir

James   McBride
“It was a future they couldn’t quite see, where the richness of all they had brought to the great land of promise would one day be zapped into nothing, the glorious tapestry of their history boiled down to a series of ten-second TV commercials, empty holidays, and sports games filled with the patriotic fluff of red, white, and blue, the celebrants cheering the accompanying dazzle without any idea of the horrible struggles and proud pasts of their forebears who had made their lives so easy.”
James McBride, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
