“Love is the earth that holds our roots in place. Without it, there's nothing to keep us from falling over.”
Saira Shah, The Mouse-Proof Kitchen

“I keep on making myself little goals, but every time I achieve one of them. I'm forced to face up to the fact that nothing has changed. The thing that is still wrong and always will be. But that's too difficult to face, so all I can do is to pick another goal and start again.”
Saira Shah, The Mouse-Proof Kitchen

“Is love like a mineral, to be chipped away with every new problem or deficiency?”
Saira Shah, The Mouse-Proof Kitchen
