So they saved him, but when he was no longer useful they left him.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“Over the years, confusing fragments, lost corners of stories, have a clearer meaning when seen in a new light, a different place.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The Cat's Table

“Love is lak de sea. It’s uh movin’ thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore.”
