“For while the pious claim money doesn’t buy happiness, I can attest from personal experience that poverty buys nothing.”
― S.A. Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

“It felt like the world had divided into two different types of people, those who had felt pain and those who had yet to.”
