Celeste Ng
“It terrifies you. That you missed out on something. That you gave up something you didn’t know you wanted.” A sharp, pitying smile pinched the corners of her lips. “What was it? Was it a boy? Was it a vocation? Or was it a whole life?”
Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere

David Grann
“History is a merciless judge. It lays bare our tragic blunders and foolish missteps and exposes our most intimate secrets, wielding the power of hindsight like an arrogant detective who seems to know the end of the mystery from the outset.”
David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: Oil, Money, Murder and the Birth of the FBI

Celeste Ng
“All her life, she had learned that passion, like fire, was a dangerous thing. It so easily went out of control. It scaled walls and jumped over trenches. Sparks leapt like fleas and spread as rapidly; a breeze could carry embers for miles. Better to control that spark and pass it carefully from one generation to the next, like an Olympic torch. Or, perhaps, to tend it carefully like an eternal flame: a reminder of light and goodness that would never - could never - set anything ablaze. Carefully controlled. Domesticated. Happy in captivity. The key, she thought, was to avoid conflagration.”
Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere

David Grann
“The Osage elders sang the traditional songs for the dead, only now the songs seemed for the living, for those who had to endure this world of killing.”
David grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

“I don't have a plan, I'm afraid, but then, no one really does, no matter what they say.”
Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere
