3 quotes

She is like a great writer, with the power to read people; I was influenced by her. But hers wasn't a life where you could sit indoors with books.

People have lost something important they took for granted, and that loss leaves them devastated.

I was very young, and those events affected me deeply. I feel the time given to me doesn't belong only to me. In everything – my writing, my travelling, my happiness – I live partly on behalf of those who weren't able to survive. I feel I'm living their share of life.
