Ta-Nehisi Coates
“You cannot act upon what you cannot see. And we are plagued by dead language and dead stories that serve people whose aim is nothing short of a dead world. And it is not enough to stand against these dissemblers. There has to be something in you, something that hungers for clarity. And you will need that hunger, because if you follow that path, soon enough you will find yourself confronting not just their myths, not just their stories, but your own.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Hua Hsu
“The first generation thinks about survival; the ones that follow tell the stories.”
Hua Hsu, Stay True

Justin Torres
“I’d lost patience for novels. I did not want to die in the middle of a novel. I wanted only endings, last lines, goodbyes, and reunions. I wondered how might things end for me; how would it read, the final sentence of my life? The verdict?”
Justin Torres, Blackouts

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“I don’t really worry about the young, whose excesses are confined to lecture halls and quadrangles, so much as I fear the old, whose tyrannies are legislative.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Hua Hsu
“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
