Quotes by Rabindranath Maharaj (?)

“I remember Uncle Boysie telling me that Canada was so safe the policemen wore nice red outfits and rode on horses but according to Roy the country was like Gotham City with crooks around every corner… I pictured them as shady Frank Miller characters with bulging muscles and machine guns poking out from trench coats but the photograph from the papers was of a group of boys my age. They kind of resembled some of my friends from Mayaro too.”
― Rabindranath Maharaj, The Amazing Absorbing Boy

“Look at the way things are now. Just a set of crab in barrel and all of a sudden one crab just appear with a jacket and tie and telling everybody that he is not a crab any more. Ridiculous little place with ridiculous little people.”
― Rabindranath Maharaj, The writer and his wife and other stories

“Your legacy. Hard work but honest. You don't have to outsmart anybody or depend on anyone when you own one plot of land. 'Cause it's always there.”
