Hisham Matar
“why would God want to reward absolute obedience, regardless of the consequences, when He had bestowed on us reason, granting us not only the ability but the responsibility to arrive at our own decisions?”
Hisham Matar, My Friends

“God veil our faults," as the old folks say. A simple, much overused prayer. But what little wisdom it contains. A philosophy of sorts. I love how modest it is. I mean, they could have said, "God erase our faults," Now that would've been ambitious. But "veil" is better. It presupposes that to live a life is to have faults, that no one is perfect and certainly no one is innocent. Not even you and I.”

“To be from countries such as ours... is to continually feel obliged to explain them.”

“My faith in literature too returned. Books, particularly great novels, never before seemed more practical to the business of living.”
Hisham Matar, My Friends

“A thousand and one things could befall us and the people we love the most would have no hint of it.”
Matar Hisham, My Friends
