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

Ocean Vuong
“The truth is we can survive our lives, but not our skin. But you know this already.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Ocean Vuong
“To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Carmen Maria Machado
“A house is never apolitical. It is conceived, constructed, occupied, and policed by people with power, needs, and fears.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
