Quote by Inga Ābele

“Sirds krūtīs – kalta metāla irbe, kura pret vakaru sadrūp pelnos. Ļaujies laika plūdumam un pamijus rokām, kuras tevi glāstīs un nodos. Kuras tevi darvos un dedzinās.”

“As a girl, she’d lived on folktales. They were the water to her family’s roots, and she’d grown up on stories of bargains and broken hearts. Even Dad’s stories often ended in tragedy. When she was young, Eva thought it terribly romantic to love what you were destined to lose. Now she called bullshit. It was easy to say that you’d die for someone, but what Eva really wanted was the kind of love that stood its ground when things got difficult, the kind of love that chose to live. For years, she’d fed her anger to survive, picturing her heart like a garden made to wither in the cold, and she’d blamed Arthur for killing the part of her that had believed in their story. But his touch awakened something in her again. As Arthur moaned into the skin of her neck, pressing his lips to her body and making goose bumps erupt down her arms, Eva wondered if maybe she’d been wrong all this time. Gardens never really die, after all. Seeds lie dormant, and soil goes fallow, all in the faith that one day, when the conditions are right, it will bloom again.”

“So that's what a heart looks like, inside us?’ ‘Yes. Humans have a habit of leaving their hearts everywhere... On tree barks, ancient temples, solitary caves. Sometimes they even give it away to the wrong person. Remember, Q, if you must give your heart away, give it to the one who can hold it well. For the heart is a very fragile thing: held too tight, life seeps out of it. Held too loose, it withers from longing.”

“The opposite of a correct statement is an incorrect statement. The opposite of a profound truth is another profound truth (Niels Bohr)." By this, he means that we require a larger reading of the human past, of our relations with each other, the universe and God, a retelling of our older tales to encompass many truths and to let us grow with change.”
