Quotes by Dina Nayeri  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Home is never the same for anyone not just refugees. You go back and find that you have grown and so has your country. Home is gone. It lives in the mind. Time exiles us all from our childhood.”
Dina Nayeri, The Ungrateful Refugee

“And here is the biggest lie in the refugee crisis. It isn’t the faulty individual stories. It is the language of disaster often used to describe incoming refugees—deluge or flood or swarm. These words are lies.”
Dina Nayeri, The Ungrateful Refugee

“We drift from the safe places of our childhood. There is no going back. Like stories, villages and cities are always growing or fading or melding into each other. We are all immigrants from the past, and home lives inside the memory, where we lock it up and pretend it is unchanged.”
Dina Nayeri, The Ungrateful Refugee
