“I am writing because they told me to never start a sentence with because. But I wasn't trying to make a sentence—I was trying to break free. Because freedom, I am told, is nothing but the distance between the hunter and its prey.”

“I am writing you from inside a body that used to be yours. Which is to say, I am writing as a son.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Pain doesn’t get easier. You just have to get stronger.”
― Elizabeth Lim, Six Crimson Cranes

“But children are more resilient than adults. They’re far better at making the most of what they have, and spend less time worrying about what they haven’t.”
― Alice Feeney, Daisy Darker
