“because people, in some primitive and primordial way, need at least one thing in their lives to give meaning to everything they do, and since i had none, not anymore, it would have to be her.”
Jinwoo Chong, Flux

Moses Ose Utomi
“It had been so long since he'd had the freedom to cry. That's what crying was—freedom. You could cry when there were no more urgent responsibilities. Only when there was no one watching you who depended on your strength. Only when the people around you wouldn't take advantage of your tears.
Only when you had enough water in your body.”
Moses Ose Utomi, The Lies of the Ajungo

“Her childhood was a calm one, worthy of being mythologized not for what was happening beyond the walls of their house but for what was happening within them, for the specificities of her small, resected world.”
Susannah Dickey, Common Decency

Jinwoo Chong
“I want you to comb through all the things you can name about the way people of our world consume energy, conserve energy, waste energy, how we are primed to accept the system for what it is and do nothing about it under a complex of fear. And when you’re done with all of that, I want you to forget it, all of it. I want you to listen to me and learn a new word: Flux.”
Jinwoo Chong, Flux
