“There was no need for words, for there are times when words can only hint at what the heart would wish to say.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“Sometimes it was important simply to get out. It did not matter where you went, as long as you got out of the office, or the kitchen, or any other place where duty required you to be, and went to some place that you did not have to be.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“The mention of God made Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni frown. In his experience, people were always claiming that God agreed with them even when there was little or no evidence that this was the case.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“Could you say that your business had expanded if it had gone from owning one teapot to two? Somehow she thought that Dr. Profit would answer both those questions with a shake of his head. Of course, she herself had expanded in girth since the agency was founded, but she did not think that such a form of growth was what the author of the article had in mind.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“And perhaps a deliberate act of forgetting went along with forgiveness. You forgave, and then you said to yourself: Now I shall forget. Because if you did not forget, then your forgiveness would be tested, perhaps many times and in ways that you could not resist, and you might go back to anger, and to hating.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“The glow left by the sun is like a good act done, she thought; or like love, which left the same warm signature behind it.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“We all had to say goodbye, sooner or later, to those we loved—or they had to say goodbye to us. Those were the only two possibilities that this world allowed. But no matter how much we tried to face up to it, it never became easier.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“As a child she had believed that wrongs would always be righted, that somehow the world would not let the innocent suffer, but now she realised that this was not true. Old oppressors were replaced by new ones, from another distant place or from right next door. Old lies were replaced by new ones, backed up by old threats.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“modern people always appeared to be rushing about doing things, having no time, it seemed, for looking at the sky,”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“If you are there to staunch the tears of the world, then it does not cross your mind that you yourself may weep.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“Blocks of flats could change everything, thought Mma Ramotswe. They were designed for people, but people were not necessarily designed for them. These flats at the edges of the Village, though, were made more human by the washing that was hung out to dry from their balconies; by the children who congregated in their doorways, or played with skipping ropes and dogs on their pathways; by the music that the residents listened to, melodies that drifted out of the open windows and throbbed with life. All of this made it harder for large new buildings to deaden the human spirit. It was like the bush: you could clear it and build something where once there had been nothing but trees and grass and termite mounds, but if you turned your back for a moment, Africa would begin to reclaim what had always been hers. The grass would encroach, its seeds carried by the wind; birds would drop the seeds of saplings that would then send tiny shoots up out of the ground; the termites would marshal their exploratory troops to begin rebuilding their own intricate cities of mud in the very places they had claimed once before. And sooner or later the bush would have covered all your efforts and it would be as it was before, the wound on nature completely healed.”

“Perhaps he should stay more or less as he was: Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, mechanic, not-very-good cook, but nonetheless devoted husband of Precious Ramotswe, the woman he loved and admired above all others and for whom he would do anything—anything at all—in his own not-very-modern way.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“Things start badly—very badly—and then they change for the better and those who have nothing, or who are unhappy, or who live in fear, suddenly find that these things that were bad for them have gone.” “It’s like rain,” said Mma Potokwane, who had not said much but had clearly been affected by the story. “The rains come and they wash everything away. The dryness, the thirst, the dust on your skin—these are washed away, Mma, all washed away.”

“For once again she sensed that our heart is not always able to say what it wants to say and frequently has to content itself with less.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“She imagined herself lying in the vegetable tray, perhaps, while Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni leaned against the icebox. It would be a refreshing alternative to the heat.”

“Could you say that your business had expanded if it had gone from owning one teapot to two? Somehow”

“Contemplating this vast human suffering, you might be tempted to shrug your shoulders, but you could not.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“It seemed an odd thing to say, and yet all of us had a view from somewhere, a view of the world from the perspective of who we were, of what had happened to us, of how we thought about things.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“She had brought all of this on herself, and so she had, in a sense, got what she deserved. But, even so, Mma Ramotswe reminded herself, she had a soul like everyone else, and one should not crow over the defeat even of those who richly deserve to be defeated. That was dangerous, because then you yourself might get what you deserve for reveling in the misfortunes of another.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“The voices of the children were pure; their hearts were pure. Some of them had already discovered how hard life could be; others had yet to do so and probably did not fully understand what the world could be.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“If you have enemies, then your biggest enemy is yourself. Do you know that, Mma?”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“A marriage, she had learned, is seldom what it seems to be on the surface; what appears to be the most equable, well settled of arrangements might be a seething mass of discontent and resentment underneath. And conversely, chaotic and noisy relationships, littered with conflict and infidelity, might prove to be the most durable of unions.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon
“Do not be afraid of people who lurk in the shadows. Stand up for what you believe in. The people in the shadows are no match for people who are not afraid of light.”

“She would not allow herself to remember how Note had treated her, and many others too, she suspected. She had forgiven him, yes, but she still did not like to remember. And perhaps a deliberate act of forgetting went along with forgiveness. You forgave, and then you said to yourself: Now I shall forget. Because if you did not forget, then your forgiveness would be tested, perhaps many times and in ways that you could not resist, and you might go back to anger, and to hating.”
