“For most immigrants, moving to the new country is an act of faith. Even if you’ve heard stories of safety, opportunity, and prosperity, it’s still a leap to remove yourself from your own language, people, and country. Your own history. What if the stories weren’t true? What if you couldn’t adapt?”
― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

“Maybe the whole point of love is to make more of itself.”
― Nicola Yoon, Instructions for Dancing

“It doesn’t matter that love ends. It just matters that there’s love.”
― Nicola Yoon, Instructions for Dancing

“Immigrating to a new country is an act of hope, bravery, and, sometimes, desperation. I’d like to say a big thank-you to all the people who’ve made long journeys to distant shores for whatever reason. May you find what you’re looking for. Always know that the country of your destination is better for having you in it.”
