“Lust opens your eyes, passion opens your heart, but love opens your soul.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

“Humanity, it seemed, was looking for a new direction and believed the Community would provide it.”
Carole Hailey, The Silence Project

Muriel Spark
“On the first day of his holiday Laurence Manders woke to hear his grandmother’s voice below.
‘I’ll have a large wholemeal. I’ve got my grandson stopping for a week, who’s on the BBC. That’s my daughter’s boy, Lady Manders. He won’t eat white bread, one of his fads.’
Laurence shouted from the window, ‘Grandmother, I adore white bread and I have no fads.”
Muriel Spark, The Comforters

Madeleine Thien
“The only life that matters is in your mind. The only truth is the one that lives invisibly, that waits even after you close the book. Silence, too, is a kind of music. Silence will last.”
Madeleine Thien, Do Not Say We Have Nothing

Maura Laverty
“Did you ever know just how much you meant to me Gran? That to me you stood for understanding and sympathy and wisdom and for all the warm uncritical loving I needed? you were the purple bog and a ripe wheat-field and a crab-tree in May. You were good food, and songs in the firelight and the rosary at night. You were a welcome for my coming in and a prayer for my going out.”
Maura Laverty, Never No More
