Quotes
When we migrate, we murder from our lives those we leave behind.
We are all children who lose our parents, all of us, every man and woman and boy and girl, and we too will all be lost by those who come after us and love us, and this loss unites humanity, unites every human being.
The end of a relationship is a death, and the process of healing is the same: we must mourn, we must cry, we must scream, we must shout, we must sit in the dark and talk to ourselves, we must beg for salvation, we must lose the will to live before we find it again.
Love is the most powerful force in the world, and when wielded correctly, it can remake the world.
