A nation disappears first in its stories, long before it disappears from the map.
Abdulla Yasir, The Maldives We Remember: A Visual History of a Vanishing World

Roman Payne
People wonder why so many writers come to live in Paris. I’ve been living ten years in Paris and the answer seems simple to me: because it’s the best place to pick ideas. Just like Italy, Spain.. or Iran are the best places to pick saffron. If you want to pick opium poppies you go to Burma or South-East Asia. And if you want to pick novel ideas, you go to Paris.
Roman Payne, Crepuscule
