“With joy, we breach the haze of suffering that denies us creativity and literature. Joy is art is an ethics of resistance.”
Billy-Ray Belcourt, A History of My Brief Body
tags: joy

Hua Hsu
“You know, you never know who will complicate you in a meaningful way.”
Hua Hsu

Elif Batuman
“When I woke up in the morning, there was a second or two when I felt light and free, unaware of any reason to feel upset. Then all my knowledge and memories rushed back and a weight descended on my sternum and the creaking started behind my eyes.”
Elif Batuman, Either/Or

Angela Y. Davis
“If we expand our definition of punishment under slavery, we can say that the coerced sexual relations between slave and master constituted a penalty exacted on women, if only for the sole reason that they were slaves. In other words, the deviance of the slave master was transferred to the slave woman, whom he victimized. Likewise, sexual abuse by prison guards is translated into hypersexuality of women prisoners.”
Angela Y. Davis, Are Prisons Obsolete?

Hua Hsu
“Last Friday, I overemphasized the toughness. Don't be scared. The life is full of excitement and surprises. Handle it and enjoy it.”
Hua Hsu
