Alka Joshi
“I saw myself at Radha’s age, too shy to look at boys or men, much less talk to them. Maa had made sure of it: Men will eat even unripe fruit”
Alka Joshi, The Henna Artist

Kate Atkinson
“Art was dangerous—it gave you ideas.”
Kate Atkinson, Shine, Pamela! Shine!

Elif Shafak
“wish I could have told him that loneliness is a human invention. Trees are never lonely. Humans think they know with certainty where their being ends and someone else’s starts.

Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

Alka Joshi
“What did it feel like? What did I know of love?”
Alka Joshi, The Henna Artist

“alone. A mixed-blood is seldom content in company: there’s always something that casts a shadow on him, but in reality it’s he who casts a shadow, like the thief and the treasure, which cast a shadow on one another.”
Elsa Morante, Arturo's Island
