“Did you know people get rich off of sadness? I want to meet the millionaire of American sadness. I want to look him in the eye, shake his hand, and say, 'it's been an honor to serve my country.”

“Il me dit que je suis magnifique, qu'il s'en veut un peu de m'avoir prise ainsi, "comme un salaud". Je lui réponds qu'il ne faut pas, que j'aime les salauds dans son genre. "Quel genre?", demande-t-il. Je souris. "Le genre poli et obscène. Les jolis salauds."

“C'est un retour sans joie. Le monde que nous avons laissé derrière nous n'existe plus. L'Indochine française s'est effacée. Le Royaume du Laos a basculé. Une république communiste s'est emparée des terres et des esprits. Nous avons rompu avec ce système-là. Notre pays imaginaire te hante, je le sais. Par mon ignorance, je suis préservée de son emprise. Moi, je n'ai que des hypothèses. Mes fictions claudicantes sont bien inoffensives. Elles ne génèrent aucun regret, aucun sentiment coupable. C'est mon amnésie que tu nommes ingratitude et que tu tentes de mater par ton "toujours une Vietnamienne".
