“I had once been naïve enough to believe that all would be well if you lived by the rules. Good things happened to good people, blessed are the meek, et cetera, et cetera.

― J. Nozipo Maraire, Zenzele: A Letter for My Daughter

“Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.”
― Ovid

“The heart knows no logic beyond need and desire; the head has no senses except the common and the pragmatic. Neither, frankly, is particularly useful in love, anyway.”
