Hanya Yanagihara Quotes

His Silence Had Begun As Something Protective, But Over The Years It Has Transformed Into Something Near Oppressive, Something That Manages Him Rather Than The Other Way Around. Now He Cannot Find A Way Out Of It, Even When He Wants To. He Imagines He Is Floating In A Small Bubble Of Water, Encased On All Sides By Walls And Ceilings And Floors Of Ice, All Many Feet Thick. He Knows There Is A Way Out, But He Is Unequipped; He Has No Tools To Begin His Work, And His Hands Scrabble Uselessly Against The Ice's Slick. He Had Thought That By Not Saying Who He Was, He Was Making Himself More Palatable, Less Strange. But Now, What He Doesn't Say Makes Him Stranger, An Object Of Pity And Even Suspicion.
