“Chinese are particularly fond of matched sets and the Five Virtues were the sum of qualities that made up a perfect man. So it was a bit odd that a girl like me should be named for knowledge.

“La literatura sirve para vivir otras vidas más allá de la vida patética que nos tocó vivir. La literatura sirve para escarmentar en cabeza ajena. La literatura es catártica, medicinal, terapéutica.

― Liliana Blum, Cara de liebre

“I've been hateful and envious about you going to medical school. And for being a boy. And getting to choose what you want”
