H.A.

“If someone doesn't act, the world won't change.”
― Sohn Won-Pyung, Counterattacks at Thirty

“I might only be a speck of dust in the universe, but there's always the possibility that I might land somewhere and catch the light just right so that I become a beautiful rainbow. If that happens, I'll be the only one of my kind in the universe, without ever having screamed at the top of my lungs, claiming that I'm someone special. It took a lot of time and effort before I realized that, but there's this small twist: even had I not tried that hard, it would have always been true.”
― Sohn Won-Pyung, Counterattacks at Thirty

“You know, I used to have this theory that if I wanted something badly enough, the universe would make sure to keep it just out of my reach. Like a cruel joke, or a trick. But . . . maybe the cruelest trick the universe can play on us is to give us exactly what we wish for.”
― Ann Liang, I Am Not Jessica Chen

“look what’s being done to us—to our self-esteem, to our pride, to our bodies. We’re all exhausted and on the verge of breaking down at any second and somehow . . . somehow we’re expected to just keep going.”
― Ann Liang, I Am Not Jessica Chen
