“I had a thought, on the way home from the rock field, that the things we don't know about a person are the things that make them human, and it made me feel sad to think that, but sad in that reassuring way that some sadness has, a sadness that says welcome home in twelve different languages.”
― Miriam Toews, A Complicated Kindness

“And also don’t forget, the reason opportunity is often missed is that it usually comes disguised as hard work.”
― Clifford Irving, Trial

“I have tried my best to keep my country alive by writing about it.”
― Nuruddin Farah

“Can’t you just be like the rest of us, normal and sad and fucked up and alive and remorseful?”
