“Lastly, and I know it sounds like an excuse, but neither you nor I nor anyone can ever really know whether a story is happy or tragic.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

Daniel Silva
“We are tempted to think that we have reached the end of history, that it can never happen again. But history is made every day, sometimes by men of evil. And all too often, history repeats itself. (Holy Father, the Pope)”
Daniel Silva, The Fallen Angel

Ocean Vuong
“When does a war end? When can I say your name and have it mean only your name and not what you left behind?”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“Did you know people get rich off of sadness? I want to meet the millionaire of American sadness. I want to look him in the eye, shake his hand, and say, 'it's been an honor to serve my country.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Ocean Vuong
“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Có nhớ mẹ không? I flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?

I miss you more than I remember you.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
