“Everything has become very conventional. You're either in or you're out. I'm with the out- with the weird, the impossible, the victimised and the broken. It's the only place to be.”
― Hanif Kureishi, Midnight all Day

“I can only think how good life on earth can be, at times. What grief two people can give to one another! And what pleasure!”
― Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

“You don't stop loving someone just because you hate them.”
― Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

“I know love is dark work; you have to get your hands dirty. If you hold back, nothing interesting happens. At the same time, you have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you; too far and they abandon you. How to hold them in the right relation?”
― Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy
