“Mother says,
People share
when they know they have escaped hunger.

Shouldn't people share
because there is hunger?”
Thanhha Lai, Inside Out & Back Again

Seneca
“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.”
Seneca

Ishmael Beah
“We must strive to be like the moon.' An old man in Kabati repeated this sentence often... the adage served to remind people to always be on their best behavior and to be good to others. [S]he said that people complain when there is too much sun and it gets unbearably hot, and also when it rains too much or when it is cold. But, no one grumbles when the moon shines. Everyone becomes happy and appreciates the moon in their own special way. Children watch their shadows and play in its light, people gather at the square to tell stories and dance through the night. A lot of happy things happen when the moon shines. These are some of the reasons why we should want to be like the moon.”

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“He reminded her of Obinze’s expression for people he liked. Obi ocha. A clean heart.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
Rumi
