Text Quotes
You see a virus very differently when it’s caught and suspended on a slab of glass than when you’re observing how it’s ravaged a fellow human being. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
All ethics and morals are culturally relative. And Esme’s reaction taught me that while cultural relativism is an easy concept to process intellectually, it is not, for many, an easy one to remember. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I think there are patterns of the aftermath of colonization that you see echoed in cultures and communities across the world. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I took a 51 day trip through Asia; 12 countries and 26 cities. I traveled for 51 days. So, it was everywhere from Sri Lanka and that all the way to Japan, where we ended it. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
In a basic sense, ‘A Little Life’ is a homage to how my friends and I live our lives. I wanted to push past the definitions of how we typically define friendship. It’s a different version of adulthood, but it’s no less important and no less legitimate than anyone else’s. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Where most of the country is, well, hot - from the bone-baking dry heat of the desert to the flesh-melting humidity of Kerala in the south - Kashmir is cool: so cool, in fact, that in the winter, the temperatures can sink to sub-zero. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
One of the things I’m fascinated by as a traveler is watching how different countries control how they let the world encounter them. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I live in Soho in lower New York; there’s tons and tons of tourists right outside my door step, obviously. Most of them are European, and all of them have guidebooks. I never see anyone looking at a phone. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I go to Japan every November on vacation, and the one thing I never return home without is yuba, which is the thin skin that forms atop boiling soy milk. You skim it off and either eat it fresh or dry it. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
What any writer hopes for is that the reader will stick with you to the end of the contract and that there is a level of submission on the reader’s part. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
It’s a funny thing about cities: Some have brief, bright moments of cultural and political dominance, decades- or centuries-long spells when they seem the center of their particular nation, or region, or empire... only to later fall into obscurity and disrepair, never to regain their former glory. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I think fiction writers should work. If you have a job and are not living off advances or grants, you never have to make concessions in your writing, ever. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
My father was a research doctor at the National Institutes of Health in the early 1980s, and you couldn’t work in the field and not know about D. Carleton Gajdusek, who my father often mentioned. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Jaipur, like Florence or Kyoto, other artisan-rich cities to which it roughly compares, has always been known for its craftsmanship. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Friendship is one of our most treasured relationships, but it isn’t codified and celebrated; it’s never going to give you a party. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I think for a lot of people, friendship is a relationship that gets devalued once they move on to what people consider to be more important relationships: once you find a partner or when you have kids. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I’ve always thought that one of the least successful encounters is meeting a writer one admires. For one thing, writers are generally much kinder, more empathetic, more generous people on the page than they are in person. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Go to any Shinto temple in Japan and you’ll see it: a simple stand from which hang hundreds of wooden postcard-size plaques with a colorful image on one side and, on the other, densely scribbled Japanese characters in black felt-tip pen, pleas to the gods for help or succor. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I don’t believe in post-racial or post-gay or post-anything, but I do think within a certain group of friends, what matters less is the specificities of race and sexuality, and what matters more is the shared experience, shared language and shared cultural touch points. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Any frequent visitor to Hawaii is fixated on mapping how the islands have changed since their last visit. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
He would be a better person, he knows. He would be a more loving person. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
The beauty of a Moroccan riad is undeniable, but even the most die-hard fan may find herself growing a little weary of what can come to feel like a one-size-fits-all aesthetic: tilework, white Berber rugs, woolen tribal throw pillows in reds and ochers, cut-metal lanterns. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
In Mumbai, the air is saltier. The sea is roilier. The traffic is snarlier. The pinks are pinker. The ostentation is crazier. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Eating local is a relatively new concept in American dining; for the Italians, it’s a way of life. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Those of us lucky enough to fall in love with Asia know that it’s an affair that’s as long as it is resonant. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
What makes a fulfilling relationship or fulfilling life is not simply found in another. It’s found in a group of others. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
The first thing many tourists see in Hawaii is concrete - a long dreary stretch of it through landscapes dominated by sad, cheap apartment buildings and almost entirely denuded of plant life. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Florence is perhaps best known for being the seat of Renaissance art, and rightly so: A greatest-hits collection of artists passed through its streets - Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli, and Brunelleschi among them. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
Be aware of who in your life is actually interested in hearing you discuss your writing, and who’s just asking to be polite. Listening to writers talk about their work is often excruciatingly dull. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
I wanted to see how flavors, spices, and grains traveled back and forth along the Silk Road and were interpreted by a multitude of cultures’ palates. (Hanya Yanagihara Quotes)
