Hanya Yanagihara
“But mostly, I missed watching you two together; I missed watching you watch him, and him watch you; I missed how thoughtful you were with each other, missed how thoughtlessly, sincerely affectionate you were with him; missed watching you listen to each other, the way you both did so intently.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Louisa May Alcott
“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Ocean Vuong
“I'm sorry I keep saying How are you? when I really mean Are you happy?
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“What were you before you met me?"
"I think I was drowning"
"And what are you now?"
"Water”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Cities are stories and I only remember what I
myself lived, or fragments from your stories and what you lived, but they are truncated. I remember their stories very well. The ones I learned in school, heard on TV, and read and wrote in order to pass exams. I had to tell their stories to pass in school and college. That’s why I remember them like I remember my ID number. I know it by heart and can recite it any minute. I memorised their stories and their white dreams
about this place so as to pass exams. But I carved my stories, yours, and those of others who are like us, inside me. We inherit memory the way we inherit the colour of our eyes and skin. We inherit the sound of laughter just as we inherit the sound of tears. Your memory pains me.”
Ibtisam Azem, The Book of Disappearance
