Quotes by Marina Budhos

“Because we looked away in the past, does that mean we can look away now?
Page 76”
― Marina Budhos, Ask Me No Questions

“When we came to America, though, we didn't know what the right thing was. Here we lived with no map. We became invisible, the people who swam in between other people's lives, bussing dishes, delivering groceries. What was wrong?

We didn't know. The most important thing, Abba said, was not to stick out. Don't let them see you. But I think it hurt him, to hide so much.”
