Tayari Jones
“But home isn't where you land; home is where you launch. You can't pick your home any more than you can choose your family. In poker, you get five cards. Three of them you can swap out, but two are yours to keep: family and native land.”
Tayari Jones, An American Marriage

“There should be a word for this, the way it feels to steal something that’s already yours.”
Tayari Jones, An American Marriage

Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates.”
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki

Albert Camus
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Albert Camus

Tayari Jones
“I'm alone in a way that's more than the fact that I am the only living person within these walls. Up until now, I thought I knew what was and wasn't possible. Maybe that's what innocence is, having no way to predict the pain of the future. When something happens that eclipses the imaginable, it changes a person. It's like the difference between a raw egg and a scrambled egg. It's the same thing, but it's not the same at all. That's the best way I can put it. I look in the mirror and I know it's me, but I can't quite recognize myself.”
Tayari Jones, An American Marriage
