Quotes by Nathacha Appanah

“You say you are an orpahn, or a widow or a widower, but when you have lost two sons on the same day, two brothers on the same day, what are you? What word is there to say what you have become?”
― Nathacha Appanah, The Last Brother

“Vendar ne morem oditi, samo čas izgubljam, si pripravljam lažne radosti, ko pa imam hčer, ki me čaka, malo mene same in moškega, ki sem ga ljubila, kakor sem najbolje mogla, nežno, spokojno, ki je poslušal glasbo mojih besed, in ki sem ga pustila oditi, ker je to tisto, kar narediš, kadar ljubiš. Pustiti oditi, čakati, ničesar pričakovati, sprejemati, ponovno dajati.”
― Nathacha Appanah, La noce d'Anna
