Quotes by Don Mee Choi (?)

“It can take billions of years for light to reach us through the galaxies, which is to say, History is ever arriving.”

“It can take billions of years for light to reach us through the galaxies, which is to say, History is ever arriving. So it's most likely that the decision, seemingly all mine, was already made years ago by someone else, which is to say, language — that is to say, translation — always arises from collective consciousness.”
