Liefde in tijden van gebrek

“In any case, all the memories of those years full of life will soon fade; disease doesn't spare your memories; they will die the very instant she does.”

“My parents had a proverb hanging above their bed: Those who cannot build castles in the air are not entitled to happiness. And they were the happiest couple I know!” she reassured me.
She held the palms of my hands to her face for a few minutes. When she hailed a taxi, she put me in the backseat and bid farewell with eyes full of castles in the air.”
― On a Woman's Madness

“Racial hatred is unpredictable and unfathomable, and it’s there when you least expect it, and it’s deadlier than sudden blows to your naked soul. I was on my guard. I simply refused to form any relationships with white people. As far as I was concerned, they could take out their hate on the stereotype in their heads.”
