“What reeducation had taught me was that dedicated communists were like dedicated capitalists, incapable of nuance.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Committed

Michel Houellebecq
“We feel nostalgia for a place simply because we’ve lived there, whether we lived well or badly scarcely matters. The past is always beautiful. So, for that matter, is the future.

Michel Houellebecq, Soumission

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“The typical American preferred the canned version of philosophy found in how-to manuals, but even average Frenchmen and Vietnamese cherished a love of knowledge.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Committed
