On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
“All this time, I told myself that we were born from war. But I was wrong Ma, we were born from beauty. Let no one mistake us for the fruit of violence; but that violence, having passed through the fruit, failed to spoil it.”

“All this time, I told myself that we were born from war. But I was wrong Ma, we were born from beauty. Let no one mistake us for the fruit of violence; but that violence, having passed through the fruit, failed to spoil it.”
“To be gorgeous, you must first be seen, but to be seen allows you to be hunted.”
