Julia  Whelan
“Our memories of places, much like people, are subject to our own adaptation process. Once the active living is done, and they pass into memory, we assume control of the narrative. We adapt it, sometimes without meaning to. This is, perhaps, the one advantage of death: when people die, they can live on in our memory as we choose, but places continue to exist, to change.”
Julia Whelan, My Oxford Year

Crime doesn’t discriminate.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime and Other Stories
