The world will tell you otherwise because you’re a girl and you’re not white and you’re softhearted, but you’re allowed to keep things for yourself, and—and to say something isn’t good enough for you. You’re allowed to want more. You’re allowed to be angry.

@asianlitnet event 05: themes and motifs — love & hate in these violent delights by @chloegong
my only love sprung from my only hate!
too early seen unknown, and known too late!
prodigious birth of love it is to me,
that I must love a loathed enemy.
- romeo & juliet (act i, scene v)

@asianlitnet mission 02 - quotes: the wind-up bird chronicle (1997)
Sometimes, when one is moving silently through such an utterly desolate landscape, an overwhelming hallucination can make one feel that oneself, as an individual human being, is slowly being unraveled. The surrounding space is so vast that it becomes increasingly difficult to keep a balanced grip on one's own being. The mind swells out to fill the entire landscape, becoming so diffuse in the process that one loses the ability to keep it fastened to the physical self. The sun would rise from the eastern horizon, and cut it's way across the empty sky, and sink below the western horizon. This was the only perceptible change in our surroundings. And in the movement of the sun, I felt something I hardly know how to name: some huge, cosmic love.
