“I don't think clarity is necessarily truth. It's simplicity, isn't it?”
Michael Ondaatje, Anil's Ghost

Khaled Hosseini
“There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

Bernhard Schlink
“Sometimes the memory of happiness cannot stay true because it ended unhappily..”
Bernhard Schlink, The Reader

Michael Ondaatje
“You're an archaeologist. Truth comes finally into the light. It's in the bones and sediment.

It's in character and nuance and mood.

That is what governs us in our lives, that's not the truth.

For the living it is the truth.”
Michael Ondaatje, Anil's Ghost

Michael Ondaatje
“A love story is not about those who lost their heart but about those who find that sullen inhabitant who, when it is stumbled upon, means the body can fool no one, can fool nothing—not the wisdom of sleep or the habit of social graces. It is a consuming of oneself and the past.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient
