“On the one hand we can't be alone, people like us; on the other we can't stand company. We can't stand male company, which bores us to death, or female company either. I gave up male company for years because it's totally unprofitable, and female company gets on my nerves in no time.”

“Quanto custava o amor?
O meu corpo, devagar, a minha terra. Materializei-me nela, e todos os dias voltava ao anoitecer à minha terra, e dela saía de manhã.”
― Caderno de Memórias Coloniais

“Fiquei pensativa o resto do dia, com um entusiasmo triste, como nos dias em que de repente nos acontece o que mais desejamos: um filho, um curso concluído com distinção ou um texto aprovado para publicação, não existindo com quem partilhar a satisfação de um «viste?!». A vitória dos solitários não tem testemunhas e torna a solidão mais só. Ninguém nos olha com orgulho. Ninguém nos dirige uma palavra de apreço. Estamos sempre iguais na solidão, sempre os mesmos, e é por isso que ignoramos os sucessos e nos concentramos no telejornal, como se não houvesse louça para lavar na bancada. E depois lavamo-la. De manhã. Ou à tarde. Depois.”

“The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures."
"That's an oversimplification of the issue."
"The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience that is not their own. I hate that world don't you? I'm terrified of that world and I don't want to live in a that world, and as a mixed race person, I literally don't exist in it. My dad, who I barely knew, was Jewish. My mom was an American-born Korean. I was raised by Korean immigrant grandparents in Korea Town Los Angeles and as any mixed race person will tell you-- to be half of two things is to be whole of nothing.”
