Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘You know why the battle of good vs evil is so one-sided, Malin? Because evil is better organised, better equipped and better paid. It is not monsters or yakas or demons we should fear. Organised collectives of evil doers who think they are performing the work of the righteous. That is what should make us shudder.’
You no longer care if your photos are seen or not. Because Jaki and DD still have breath and, even though that won’t make up for this whole damn mess, it is something. And, without a doubt, that is the kindest thing you can say about life. It’s not nothing.
‘You wrote the word “Love” on this note. This is not natural.’ ‘Marriage is not natural. Cutlery isn’t. Nor is religion. It’s all man-made shit.’

If you were put on this earth to help this beautiful boy out of the closet, then it can’t have all been a waste.
Even on the sad days, when you have to process young children or those leaving lovers behind, you come to realise that every death is significant, even when every life appears not to be.
When he finally appears, he looks dishevelled and confused. But, you feel no rage towards him, only sorrow. He was a man protecting a child he never knew. Fighting for a country that doesn’t exist.
‘I don’t believe anyone is watching over anything.’ The leopard snorts and licks its paw. ‘Why should a Creator watch over you? Wasn’t creating you enough?’
