Quotes by Suchen Christine Lim  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“For what is life but a succession of change; of one thing after another; painful beginnings, fearful setting out into the unknown, leaving what we are for what we have not yet become. We sail forth boldly, keeping a steady keel and a keen eye on the horizon, to reach islands, land whose fragrance we sniff at at the edge of our dreams; and so we sail on, hoping that the next landfall will be our own bit of earth.”
Suchen Christine Lim, A Bit of Earth

“From sunrise to sunset, from one day to the next, till our black hair turns white, we eat, we sleep, we bear children and we watch them grow. We watch them get married and in turn bear children of their own. How time flies, we say to ourselves. Then one day, we look down at our feet and we're surprised. Roots have sprouted in the ground of our daily living.”
Suchen Christine Lim, A Bit of Earth

“Feelings were clouds across the sky. They would change and pass. It wasn't important how she felt.”
Suchen Christine Lim, A Bit of Earth
