The Lotus and the Storm QUOTES

The Lotus and the Storm QUOTES

1 " The miracle of it is this: how little things from such a long time ago can still be remembered as if they had occurred only yesterday. "

― Lan Cao , The Lotus and the Storm

2 " Things that matter come in sets of twos. Two eyes, two ears. Two kisses on the cheeks, one on each. Two lungs. Two arms. Two legs. I would not be completely blind if I lost one eye... But because we have one heart, there is no second one that can serve as a reserve when the first is stricken by sorrow. "

― Lan Cao , The Lotus and the Storm

3 " How much, if at all, do we let go of grief, even as we proclaim the need to leave it in the past? "

― Lan Cao , The Lotus and the Storm
