Quotes by Nadine Matheson  (?)

“I always find it odd when people say that of the dead. They had their whole life ahead of them. Clearly, they didn't because they're dead. We may not like the method of disposal but when it's your time to go, then it's your time to go.”
Nadine Matheson, The Jigsaw Man

“And nothing stays buried forever. Secrets have a way of coming out.”
Nadine Matheson, The Jigsaw Man

“The world can age you.”
Nadine Matheson, The Jigsaw Man

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“How much does one imagine, how much observe? One can no more separate those functions than divide light from air, or wetness from water.”
Elspeth Huxley, The Flame Trees of Thika: Memories of an African Childhood

“For sometimes you can't help but crave some ruin in what you love.”
Chang-rae Lee, On Such a Full Sea

“The main thing you got to remember is that everything in the world is a hustle.”
Alex Haley, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“How wrong to have been so negative, how wrong to have been so gloomy, how wrong to have run away from life, how wrong to have said no, again and again, instead of yes.”
Jonathan Franzen
