Michael Ondaatje
“She must have perceived how one could darken and make invisible or at least distant what is unhappy or dangerous in a life; I think her eventual skill with limelight and fictional thunder allowed her to clarify for herself what was true and what was false, safe and unsafe.”
Michael Ondaatje, Warlight

Valeria Luiselli
“Stories are a way of subtracting the future from the past, the only way of finding clarity in hindsight.”
Valeria Luiselli , Lost Children Archive

“You did not speak for some time. You felt safer that way.”
Michael Ondaatje, Warlight

Michael Ondaatje
“Your own story is just one, and perhaps not the important one. The self is not the principal thing.”
Michael Ondaatje, Warlight

Valeria Luiselli
“Children force parents to go out looking for a specific pulse, a gaze, a rhythm, the right way of telling the story, knowing that stories don't fix anything or save anyone but maybe make the world both more complex and more tolerable. And sometimes, just sometimes, more beautiful. Stories are a way of subtracting the future from the past, the only way of finding clarity in hindsight.”
Valeria Luiselli, Lost Children Archive
