Quote by C Pam Zhang

“Strawberries sat abandoned in the fields by season's end, so ripe as to be barely solid, warm as heart's blood. Ambrosia, they call that variety, the food of gods. But the hubris of excess has mortal consequences. You can go blind, mad, drown in red. The second nature of strawberries is a sugar that turns to rot. They reappeared one by one as I vomited, shapeless and no longer sweet, those little, used, red hearts.”

“When things no longer meet our expectations and our identity feels undermined, and we fail to restore the tears and fractures, we can indeed keep on tinkering in our corner and living in denial, or we can make the big leap into the unknown and immerge into the well of our unspoken will power, and give trust to our inner second self.

“Materialism is the essence of every destructive action taken by humanity, even though most who practice it would have no knowledge of it by name. Most people, being well-meaning but misinformed and physically unable to undergo the cognitive process of holistic vision, drift towards materialistic ideas and strive towards what gives them personal physical comfort and wealth.”

“We laugh and jest at what we call “street boys or area boys” instead of thinking of what we could do, to get them occupied or send them to school and create work opportunities for them. We rather choose to build walls around our compounds, electrocuted fences to protect out interest and personal comfort. That only shows lack of Personal Responsibility.”
