Parami Peiris

“She lived out her days exploring her own thoughts and emotions, giving them full reign. Feeling no obligation to please anybody unless the pleasure pleased her.”
― Toni Morrison, Sula

“Evil is not limited by what you personally can imagine.”
― V.V. Ganeshananthan, Brotherless Night

“There are no microphones, no stage, no crowds, no priests, no clear signs of what has taken place here, except for all the survivors who know it did. You must understand: this is not the book for which Anjali died. You can find that book in your library. This is the one next to it on the shelf. I can promise you there will be another, and another. Whose stories will you believe? For how long will you listen? Tell me why you think you are here, and that will be as true as anything I can say.”
― V.V. Ganeshananthan, Brotherless Night

“I cannot believe how much pain we are asked to bear when we are alive. How, even if there is a way, no one can show us how to live with it.”
― Amy Lin, Here After
