Tan Twan Eng
“I feel that when I travel I can change myself a little, and I return from a journey not quite the same self I was.”
Tan Twan Eng, The House of Doors

Tan Twan Eng
“Every night, after Robert had retired to his bedroom, I would lie on the patch of kweek grass in the garden, searching the night sky with my field glasses, a thrill bolting through me whenever I saw a dislodged star streaking across the heavens. I learned their names and their shapes: the Southern Cross; Auriga; Coma Berenices; Horologium; Orion; Circinus; Apus; Andromeda. I soon knew them all, these constellations in the night sky, constellations that had, since the beginning of the world, been sinking into the earth each morning, to rise again the next night.”
Tan Twan Eng, The House of Doors

Tan Twan Eng
“He wondered what had mesmerised her down there in the deep last night. Fearing the worst when she did not resurface, he had dived in after her and had found her far below, enclosed in a bulb of dimming, wavering light, a lantern adrift in the currents of the sea.”
Tan Twan Eng, The House of Doors

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“How quickly my life has become another life, how pitiless this becoming is, and yet how slow I am to adapt.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

Tan Twan Eng
“That night, side by side, we drifted among the galaxies of sea-stars, while far, far above us the asterisks of light marked out the footnotes on the page of eternity.”
Tan Twan Eng, The House of Doors
