“What did you learn?" he asked neutrally. That I could study you for a lifetime, carrying all of your peculiarities and discretions in the webs of my spidery palms, and still feel empty-handed.”

“I would be the first to caution against falling for any man who comes bearing the visible signs of humility on their foreheads, wearing white, and posing for photos with their hands in front of them like pious Catholics queuing for the Holy Communion. Even if they speak with the softer version of Archbishop Palmer-Buckle's voice, it is not enough to fall for their "humility".”

“While some countries developed COVID-19 vaccines to fight the pandemic, many African countries slept…. When the vaccines were ready, African leaders climbed rooftops and cried to the world to have them for free, for they were poor and could not afford to buy vaccines.

“When the pandemic struck, Ghana, with a population of 31 million, had only 67 ventilators in its public hospitals. The number of ministers of state was more than twice the number of ventilators available to face the pandemic. Medical experts said ventilators were vital in treating the respiratory conditions occasioned by the virus. However, the nation bought less than 70 ventilators during the outbreak. That brings us to the next question. If the core fight against the pandemic did not receive the needed funding, then where did all the borrowed and domestic funds go? On what did Ghana spend so much that COVID-19 continues to feature as the main reason for the Akufo-Addo government's economic woes?”

“Die Sache mit den Außenseitern ist folgende: Die Sadeem-Geschwister sind bekannt dafür, immer und überall verlorene Seelen aufzuklauben und unter ihre Fittiche zu nehmen. Nuh, der ständig streunende Katzen oder verletzte Vögel nach Hause bringt. Abi und seine absolut skurrilen, über ganz Wien verteilten Bekanntschaften. Maya und ihre überbemutternde Fürsorge, Uzair, der mit seinen zwölf Jahren bereits das Herz seiner ganzen Schule erobert hat – wir haben in unserem Leben für jeden Platz, aber besonders für jene, die sonst nirgends einen Ort für sich finden.”
