“It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“You do anything in the world to gain a reputation. As soon as you have one, you seem to want to throw it away. It is silly of you, for there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. A portrait like this would set you far above all the young men in England, and make the old men quite jealous, if old men are ever capable of any emotion.”

“It isn’t fair that nothing has color!”
“Not fair?” The Giver looked at Jonas curiously. “Explain what you mean.”

“I sing out to the birds, but they have
flown away
and will not return
to recount stories of distant
places only they can visit.
No restrictions, no imprisonment.
They can move
beyond the walls of hate
while I remain
trapped
inside this cage.”

when everything changes and those
fortifications crumble, and you can stand up,

“Your daughters are
receptors of knowledge, filled
with interesting ideas,
thoughts that could generate great
conversations, find solutions to the world’s
problems, if
you care to engage them in talk.
Don’t force them to be
something they are not, because your
sons have no control
over themselves.
Don’t shut them in,
imprison them
in shrouds, black cloaks
with only their eyes showing, covering
them up like corpses ready
to be thrown on
a communal burial heap.”

“He never
had a chance
even with his brown black
black brown arms
up in the air.
Unarmed.
Undone. Was it the color
or something else? We can only guess
why bullets fly from guns in white hands into
brown black,
black brown,
brown black brown
painting streets red.”

“You have to prove yourself over and over, and when the glory for your most recent achievement expires, as it must, as it always will, you have to start again, but with more eyes trained on you, more people waiting for the day your talent withers, and your discipline weakens, and your charm wears away. Success is only meant to be rented out, borrowed in small doses at a time, never to be owned completely, no matter what price you're willing to pay for it.”
― Ann Liang, I Am Not Jessica Chen
