R.F. Kuang
“Betrayal. Translation means doing violence upon the original, means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So then where does that leave us? How can we conclude, except by acknowledging that an act of translation is then necessarily always an act of betrayal?”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

“Don't make your life about the loss. Make it about the love.”
Tracy Deonn, Legendborn

“I would not yearn after what had been lost, impossible to regain. I would look to the days ahead, to the happiness which awaited me there... if only I were brave and steadfast enough to reach for it.”
Sue Lynn Tan, Daughter of the Moon Goddess

Sue Lynn Tan
“This pain you feel . . . you might believe that you will never recover. And while it might always hurt, the pain will fade a little more each time—until one day, there will be no more tears. Just the memories and the hope, that you might find some joy in them again.”
Sue Lynn Tan, Heart of the Sun Warrior

Sue Lynn Tan
“Yet as much as I loved him, I loved myself more. And as I was discovering, there was no end to love-it was something which grew and renewed endlessly, expanding to encompass each new horizon. Family. Friends. And other lovers, too-none of them the same- yet each precious in their own way.”
Sue Lynn Tan, Daughter of the Moon Goddess
