Need For Healing Quotes

“A woman who had fallen out of love with her life”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, Interpreter of Maladies

“She knew that Fort Lamy was a long way away, on the other side of the Sahara, in the middle of Africa — another world. Another world — and that was exactly what she needed. There at last she would be able to satisfy her need for warmth — even at Tunis there were moments when the cold was more than she could take.”
― Romain Gary, The Roots of Heaven

― Romain Gary, The Roots of Heaven
