Ocean Vuong
“Too much joy, I swear, is lost in our desperation to keep it.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Robert Jones Jr.
“It seems that wherever the Black body is present, whether in solitary or a multitude, whites feel threatened, perhaps by the ghosts of their own sins for which they have never atoned.”
Robert Jones Jr., Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019

Ocean Vuong
“The children, the veal, they stand very still because tenderness depends on how little the world touches you. To stay tender, the weight of your life cannot lean on your bones.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“I was once foolish enough to believe knowledge would clarify, but some things so gauzed behind layers of syntax and semantics, behind days and hours, names forgotten, salvaged and shed, that simply knowing the wound exists does nothing to reveal it.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“The thing is, I don't want my sadness to be othered from me just as I don't want my happiness to be othered. They're both mine. I made them, dammit.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
