Mieko Kawakami
“Then there are the real bastards, like my ex,” she shook her head. “He went around, patting himself on the back, like he’s so much better than all those men. ‘I know the pain that women feel, I respect women. I’ve written papers about it, I know where all the landmines are. My favorite author is Virginia Woolf’ and all that . . . So fucking what, though, right? How many times did you clean the house last month? How many times did you cook? How many times did you go grocery shopping?” I laughed.”
Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Ocean Vuong
“It only takes a single night of frost to kill off an entire generation. To live, then, is a matter of time, of timing.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Kyung-Sook Shin
“To you, Mom was always Mom. It never occurred to you that she had once taken her first step, or had once been three or twelve or twenty years old. Mom was Mom. She was born as Mom. Until you saw her running to your uncle like that, it hadn’t dawned on you that she was a human being who harbored the exact same feeling you had for your own brothers, and this realization led to the awareness that she, too, had had a childhood. From then on, you sometimes thought of Mom as a child, as a girl, as a young woman, as a newlywed, as a mother who had just given birth to you.”
Kyung-Sook Shin, Please Look After Mom

Ocean Vuong
“To be or not to be. That is the question. A question, yes, but not a choice.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Was this how the lovers of Pompeii felt when the magma covered them? I was deluged by something very hot, and the world seemed to stop turning.”
Sang Young Park, Love in the Big City
