Ocean Vuong
“In my language, the one I recall now only by closing my
eyes, the word for love is Yêu.
And the word for weakness is Yếu.
How you say what you mean changes what you say.
Some call this prayer, I call it watch your mouth.”
Ocean Vuong, Time Is a Mother

Ava Reid
“How terrible, to navigate the world without a story to comfort you.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

Ocean Vuong
“Because everyone knows yellow pain, pressed into American letters, turns into gold. Our sorrow Midas touched. Napalm with a rainbow afterglow. Unlike feelings, blood gets realer when you feel it. I'm trying to be real but it costs too much.”
Ocean Vuong, Time Is a Mother

Ava Reid
“A romance is a belief in the impossible: that anything ends happily.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

Ocean Vuong
“Then it came to me, my life. I remembered my life
the way an ax handle, mid-swing, remembers the tree.
& I was free.”
Ocean Vuong, Time Is a Mother
