Danh ngôn của Jenny Zhang
My mother had two unshakable beliefs that she tried to drill into me. The first was that I had to study and work twice as hard as my white peers if I wanted to survive in America, and the second was that it was delusional and dangerous to believe I possessed the same freedom white people had to pursue my dreams.

Mẹ tôi có hai niềm tin không thể lay chuyển mà bà đã cố gắng khắc sâu vào tôi. Đầu tiên là tôi phải học tập và làm việc chăm chỉ gấp đôi so với những người cùng lứa tuổi da trắng nếu tôi muốn sống sót ở Mỹ, và thứ hai là thật ảo tưởng và nguy hiểm khi tin rằng tôi có được sự tự do giống như những người da trắng để theo đuổi ước mơ của tôi.

- I went to school in California, at Stanford when I was seventeen, and I lived in San Francisco until I was twenty-three, and then I lived in Hungary for, like, a summer, and then I went to Iowa for three years. At Iowa, I actually did the fiction program, not poetry. I was a fiction writer for a long time before I was 'out' as a poet.
- I just submitted what I had to the 'Octopus Books' contest open reading period, and they said they wanted to publish my poetry book. Then I started to publish more and more poetry because people would ask me to do readings or ask me submit something for their journal.
