Quotes by Danielle Lim (?)

“Maybe the meaning, the beauty is in the response.
To his illness, to life. You say he's never complained, that he still leads a useful life sweeping the leaves of the PA, that you respect him for his courage and quiet dignity, right?
Meaning can only be found in that flow, in that moving forward, in my response and how it impacts your response, and how your response in turn impacts someone else's response, and so on, and you can't just take one point in that flow and expect to find the meaning all wrapped up in a bundle there.”
― Danielle Lim, The Sound of Sch: A Mental Breakdown, A Life Journey

“I think Mum's waited a long time for this, to be able to get on a plane with no heaviness pulling her back, to start a new chapter in her life. It took one day for her to make a promise, to promise Ah Ma that she would look after her and Ah Gu, but it took 30 years for her to honour that promise.”
