When you know it’s gonna be heartbreak on heartbreak though

This is a good book but it’s not that kind that compels you to sit for hours to get to the end

they believed that, if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the Soul of the World.


They discovered that the purification of the metals had led to a purification of themselves.

Affairs are never okay

Ifem is annoying.

At this point I’m so angry and heartbroken for Obinze and sooo annoyed at Ifemelu

Okaaaay I don’t know where this is heading.

There can’t be anyone, I am sure, who doesn’t know what it feels like to be disliked, even rejected, momentarily or for sustained periods of time. Perhaps the feeling is merely indifference, mild annoyance, but it may also be hurt. It may even be that some of us know what it is like to be actually hated—hated for things we have no control over and cannot change.

I have one thing to say to you, as a black man: Roy is a hostage of the state. He is a victim of America

Gosh this is heartbreaking…

What happens to you doesn’t belong to you, only half concerns you. It’s not yours. Not yours only. —CLAUDIA RANKINE

Perhaps the most important question one would need to ask of oneself is, Do I hold dear these things? If so, a reevaluation of the attraction and the potential for realistic fruition may be in order. If not, Allah is the most aware of your situation and the one to turn to, being the best of all guides. I can offer no other advice than this. And Allah knows best.

Will this person hold dear the same things that I will in life? Will it be as important to them to observe Ramadan properly, bundling up in the winter months to head to the mosque in the evenings when there is work in the mornings; will they cherish the times and sanctity of prayers for my family as I will; will they observe the ritual cleansing acts so important to a Muslim; and so on.

“I’m brown, a mix of my Egyptian mother and Indian father.”

Oh snap. Only my mum is Indian and my dad is Egyptian.

Please, God, don’t let the hatred through which others see the world distort my own sense of justice

Over the years, I’d built a hard, strong wall, a fortress, separating my heart from the outside world.

Now that I’d let the fortress crack, it was hard to not let my heart escape. And feel the hurt. And be free.

Daadi’s death dimmed some of the lights inside of me.

“Your resistance to my existence is futile.”

So wish I was reading this on Kindle - too many relatable quotes.

“A dad fulfilling his potential as a parent doesn’t mean he should be branded a hero.”

Wow. Ruby is the WORST.

Mother’s guilt - are you for real.

Will she redeem herself? I doubt it.

Why are some of the protagonist’s in Dawn O’Porters books vile, infuriating women. Ugh Ruby sucks.
