“Being poor is only romantic in books.”
― Rage of Angels
― Rage of Angels
“I woke one night to find him staring at the ceiling, his profile lit by the glow of streetlights outside. He looked vaguely troubled, as if he were pondering something deeply personal. Was it our relationship? The loss of his father?
“Hey, what’re you thinking about over there?” I whispered.
He turned to look at me, his smile a little sheepish. “Oh,” he said. “I was just thinking about income inequality.”
This, I was learning, was how Barack’s mind worked. He got himself fixated on big and abstract issues, fueled by some crazy sense that he might be able to do something about them. It was new to me, I have to say. Until now, I’d hung around with good people who cared about important enough things but who were focused primarily on building their careers and providing for their families. Barack was just different. He was dialed into the day-to-day demands of his life, but at the same time, especially at night, his thoughts seemed to roam a much wider plane.”

“There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.”

“Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page.”

“Her feelings had come like a flower on a tree. A bud, gently forming - and just like that, an undying blossom.”
