Paul Bowles
“Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number of times really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? An afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps, four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems limitless.”
Paul Bowles

“On growing up internationally - from the Daughter of Copper.

And so, with the greatest of ease, both as children and adults, we float back and forth between our two languages and cultures, seamlessly navigating the moments of time and place that define us.”
Susan Bayless Herrera, Daughter of Copper, A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Identity, Growing up on Borrowed Land
