Quotes by Neesha Meminger (?)

“But the coconut is also a symbol of resilience, Samar. Even in the conditions where there's very little nourishment and even less nurturance, it flourishes, growing taller than most of the plants around it.”

“If we give them a chance, people could surprise us. Maybe if we didn't make up our minds right away, based on a few familiar clues, we'd leave room for people to show us a bunch of little, important layers that we never would have expected to see.”
― Neesha Meminger, Shine, Coconut Moon

“I see that we're all, each and every one of us, like little palaces with invaluable, one-of-a-kind treasures inside. And if there's a part of ourselves that we don't claim, whether we forget to, choose not to, or feel forced to, we put that unique, precious piece outside on the porch. And we let the world know we don't want it, it's not welcome inside. Then the world is free to treat that precious valuable in whatever way it wants. But it's still a part of us, even though we've closed the door. And at some point we have to come back outside to get it, in whatever shape it's in.”
