Ocean Vuong
“What were you before you met me?"
"I think I was drowning"
"And what are you now?"
"Water”
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

Haruki Murakami
“What happens when people open their hearts?"
"They get better.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Ocean Vuong
“Ma. You once told me that memory is a choice. But if you were god, you'd know it's a flood.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
