Amy Tan
“And before they ate the last supper of life-ending mushrooms, they would pound the drums and sound the hours. They would ready the souls of their bodies, the soul of the eyes, the soul of the mouths, all of them, one by one. They would know to be ready, to not dillydally and get left behind. Soon the soldiers would arrive. They would stab them with their bayonets, shoot them with their rifles, but they would already be gone, their bodies empty like the hollow husks of the emeralds beetles.”
Amy Tan, Saving Fish from Drowning

Tara Westover
“To admit uncertainty is to admit to weakness, to powerlessness, and to believe in yourself despite both. It is a frailty, but in this frailty there is a strength: the conviction to live in your own mind, and not in someone else’s.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
“There is a saying that when a bird in flight gets tired, it will land on any tree”
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

Amy Tan
“All this talk of oblivion, of wanting nothing and becoming nobody, seems rather contradictory from a Buddhist sense. The Buddha did all this himself and he became so much a nobody that he became famous, the biggest nobody of them all. And he will never disappear, because fame has made him immortal. But I do admire him for his attitude and discipline. He was a good Indian son.”
Amy Tan, Saving Fish from Drowning

“Never show a weapon before you have to use it”
Amy Tan, Saving Fish from Drowning
