“I don’t know how some teachers manage to go to almost extraordinary efforts to teach you something while at the same time succeeding in making their students hate them.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

“I think to myself, "if I were a black hole, I’d swallow
you and shit you out in tiny pieces.”
― Eric LaRocca

“A tragedy that’s too distant cannot be “your” tragedy.”
― Sohn Won-Pyung, Almond

“People shut their eyes to a distant tragedy saying there’s nothing they could do, yet they didn’t stand up for one happening nearby either because they’re too terrified. Most people could feel but didn’t act. They said they sympathized, but easily forgot. The way I see it, that was not real.

I didn’t want to live like that.”
― Sohn Won-Pyung, Almond
