Isabel Allende
“—Esta violencia es el resultado de una guerra perpetua contra los pobres.”
Isabel Allende, Más allá del invierno

Cassandra Clare
“I read once that explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog," Mark said. "You find out how it works, but the frog dies in the process.”
Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

Nikesh Shukla
“Integrate well. Move upwards in society. Be praised – until people worry that you’re doing too well, and then they remember that you’re foreign." (from "The Good Immigrant" by Nikesh Shukla)”
Nikesh Shukla, The Good Immigrant

Maggie O'Farrell
“What redemption there is in being loved: we are always our best selves when loved by another. Nothing can replace this.”
Maggie O'Farrell, This Must Be the Place

Nikesh Shukla
“There is a dream, a grand idealism, that mixed-race people are the hope for change, the peacekeepers, we are the people with an other understanding, with an invested interest in everyone being treated equally as we have a foot and a loyalty in many camps, with all shades. We are like love bombs planted in the minefield of black and white. It is as if our parents intended to make us, with courage, and on purpose, as vessels of empathy, bridges for the cultural divide and diplomats for diversity and equality." (from "The Good Immigrant" by Nikesh Shukla)”
Nikesh Shukla, The Good Immigrant
