Quotes by Kim Fu (?)

“The older you get, the more every trauma is the same trauma.”
― Kim Fu, For Today I Am a Boy

“She turned and pressed her face into his back until his warmth and smell blotted out all thought, until she stopped wondering how long love could be enough, how long it could count as meaning, how long it could structure her days.”
― Kim Fu, The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore

“One adult can be lured into pretend, can taste the tea in our toy cup, hear the voice on the toy phone. One adult could have seen what we saw and carried it quietly within her forever. But not four. Four adults have to agree on what happened, agree on the rules. Four adults can talk to each other until reality straightens, until doubt is crushed, until their memories unstitch and reform. Four adults never see a miracle at once.”
― Kim Fu, Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century
