Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”

“We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves.

I wish for all this to be marked on by body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography - to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”
― Khaled Hosseini

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”
