“I knew that when you had fallen, the memories that charted your decline became invaluable.”
Chibundu Onuzo, The Spider King's Daughter

“Be courageous, not brave. Bravery was to dash out of the bomb shelter and grab the child left crying on the veranda. Courage was to go to the stream the day after a bomb had scattered your friend on that path because water must be fetched to sustain the life that was left.”
Chibundu Onuzo, Welcome to Lagos

“There is a mythical bird we have here, Anna. We call it the sankofa. It flies forward with its head facing back. It’s a poetic image but it cannot work in real life.”
Chibundu Onuzo, Sankofa
