“The world was too ridiculous for me to remain too sad for too long.”
― Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes to Me

“In my effort to fathom my mother, to see things from her per-spective, to accommodate her, to understand what hurt her, what made her do the things she did and to predict what she may or may not do next, I turned into a maze, a labyrinth of pathways that zigzag underground and surface in strange places, hoping to gain a vantage point for a perspective other than my own. Seeing her through lenses that were not entirely coloured by my own experience of her made me value her for the woman she was. It made me a writer. A novelist.  Because that ’s what novelists are  –  labyrinths. And now this labyrinth must make sense of its labyrinthine self without her.”
― Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes to Me

“Friendship is the raft I sail on. Friendship is the pennant I fly.”
