Viet Thanh Nguyen
“We don’t succeed or fail because of fortune or luck. We succeed because we understand the way the world works and what we have to do. We fail because others understand this better than we do.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Sara Majka
“How strange we are. How different we are from how we think we are. We fall out of love only to fall in love with a duplicate of what we've left, never understanding that we love what we love and that it doesn't change.”
Sara Majka, Cities I've Never Lived In

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“While it is better to be loved than hated, it is also far better to be hated than ignored.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Milan Kundera
“The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful ... Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“As Hegel said, tragedy was not the conflict between right and wrong but right and right , a dilemma none of us who wanted participate in history could escape.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
