Quotes by Caleb Azumah Nelson  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“You have always thought if you opened your mouth in open water you would drown, but if you didn't open your mouth you would suffocate. So here you are, drowning.”
Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

“What you're trying to say is that it's easier for you to hide in your own darkness, than emerge cloaked in your own vulnerability. Not better, but easier. However the longer you hold it in, the more likely you are to suffocate.
At some point, you must breathe.”
Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

“It’s one thing to be looked at, and another to be seen.”
Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water
