Nights in the Gardens of Spain Quotes

“When you're sorting yourself out, family are not often the ones you can turn to. They represent the place of departure and not the place of arrival.”
― Witi Ihimaera, Nights in the Gardens of Spain

“When it comes to the crunch, coming out is the greatest of all confessions. Nothing is more difficult to acknowledge. When we become ourselves we reach right back to the time when we were conceived out of our parents’ passion.
We murder their lives. There can never be any forgiveness.”
― Witi Ihimaera, Nights in the Gardens of Spain
