Quotes by Amruta Patil  (?)

“I guess everyone has a bird urge when they look down heights, a desire to jump, without wing or buoyant sail. Fear of heights is fear of a desire to jump.”
Amruta Patil, Kari

“Girl from the fifth floor, who feeds the birds every day, climbs up to the water tank and jumps off.

I see her body on the road below, and feel absolutely nothing. Maybe because I expect her to get up and walk off. In a story, the birds would have joined forces in a show of gratitude and broken her fall, carried her to a faraway land of safety. As it is, they just gurgle foolishly and confer about the no-show of breakfast.

I imagine myself in Pigeon girl's place - a split open bag of skin on tar.”
Amruta Patil, Kari

“In a faraway city where the palette was pure and bright, Ruth stirred in her sleep, and smiled”
Amruta Patil, Kari
