“I've seen enough to know that you can be a human with a mountain of resources and you can be a human with nothing, and you can be a monster either way.”
Clemantine Wamariya, The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After

“Nobody is who you think they are at first glance. We need to see beyond the projections we cast onto each other. Each of us is so much grander, more nuanced, and more extraordinary than anybody thinks, including ourselves.”
Clemantine Wamariya, The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After

“I could no longer discern what was real and what was fake. Everything, including the present, seemed to be both too much and nothing at all.”
Clemantine Wamariya, The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After
