Zadie Smith
“You must live life with the full knowledge that your actions will remain. We are creatures of consequence.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Laura Esquivel
“Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves”
Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate

Adam Phillips
“We don't have relationships to get our needs met, we have relationships to discover what our needs might be.”
Adam Phillips, On Balance

Zadie Smith
“Every moment happens twice: inside and outside, and they are two different histories.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Zadie Smith
“Our children will be born of our actions. Our accidents will become their destinies. Oh, the actions will remain. It is a simple matter of what you will do when the chips are down, my friend. When the fat lady is singing. When the walls are falling in, and the sky is dark, and the ground is rumbling. In that moment our actions will define us. And it makes no difference whether you are being watched by Allah, Jesus, Buddah, or whether you are not. On cold days a man can see his breath, on a hot day he can't. On both occasions, the man breathes.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth
