Ocean Vuong
“What a terrible life, I think now, to have to move so fast just to stay in one place.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Robert Jones Jr.
“Our responsibility is to tell you the truth. But since you were never told the truth, you will believe it a lie. Lies are more affectionate than truth and embrace with both arms.”
Robert Jones Jr., The Prophets

Ocean Vuong
“I believe the wound is also the place where the skin reencounters itself, asking of each end, where have you been?”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Robert Jones Jr.
“When they approached, she had figured out something that had been like a splinter in her foot: the easy thing to believe was that toubab were monsters, their crimes exceptional. Harder, however, and even more frightening was the truth: there was no such thing as monsters. Every travesty that had ever been committed had been committed by plain people and every person had it in them, that fetching, bejeweled thing just beneath the breast that could be removed at will and smashed over another’s head before it was returned to its beating place.”
Robert Jones Jr., The Prophets

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
