“I just want to feel better. My own body is my deepest enemy. It wants, it wants, it wants and when it does not get, it cries and cries and I punish it. How can you live in fear of your own body?”
Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces

Ocean Vuong
“When does a war end? When can I say your name and have it mean only your name and not what you left behind?”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“The cruelest walls are made of glass.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“I am thinking of beauty again, how some things are hunted because we have deemed them beautiful. If, relative to the history of our planet, an individual life is so short, a blink, as they say, then to be gorgeous, even from the day you're born to the day you die, is to be gorgeous only briefly.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“Scars. A sign that you had been hurt. A sign that you had healed.”
