Quotes by Van Heerling (?)

“Funny, no matter how fast one travels, the past is just a moment, just a thought away.”
― Van Heerling

“Well, my friend, if I may be blunt, all this time you have talked about how you walked away from your American life. How you walked away from your wife. And the reasons you have put forth to me about why and how your children would be better if you left. You may see your wife and children at anytime, however. They are only a sea away. This is the American loss I speak of. - A portion of Abasi's explanation of how ridiculous westerners can be.”
― Van Heerling, MALAIKA

“The reason for my story is we have a place in life. We belong to a system, and every piece has its place.”
