Quote by Amélie Nothomb

“Les choses à ne pas dire ne sont pas forcément les choses sales, au contraire. Il faut toujours raconter des saletés qu’on a en soi : c’est sain, c’est gai, c’est tonique. Non, les choses à ne pas dire sont d’un autre ordre – et ne vous attendez pas à ce que je vous l’explique, puisque ce sont précisément des choses à ne pas dire.”

“He was fed up of hearing about religion; about how much God loves everybody, about how he cares. He hated hearing that. His father was God’s servant; he preached God’s word, but where was God when the machete was brought down on him? The number of people who died clutching Bibles and praying for rescue, why did God not answer them? He knew he had had enough of God; he wanted nothing more to do with him. His views had annoyed the administrators at the foundation; they asked him to be grateful to God for saving him from death, but why should he be? Why should he be grateful to a God that killed off all his people and left only him? His views had started affecting the other kids and it was a welcome relief to everyone in the orphanage when he left.”

“When things seem to be impossible for you in certain ways and places; don't fight with anyone, don't make noise in any way, do not force things; rather, move with the flow, for your life is like a watercourse directed by God Almighty himself. Remember when someone closes doors for you, God Almighty will open a mighty and wonderful, flourishing door for you, one that is above the closed one. Hallelujah”
