Quote by Fatima Abounassir

“Having traveled from the shores of Morocco to the hills of Ireland, I've learned that 'home' isn't just a place you're from, but a place you create. I write stories for the young person I was—the one who felt a little lost—to show them that your own strength is the most powerful magic you will ever find.”

“Nobody's life was untouched by loneliness; it was just a question of whether or not you were able to accept that loneliness for what it was. Put another way, everyone was lonely, and it was up to them whether they chose to bury that loneliness through relationships with other people, and if so, of what sort of intensity and depth.”

“On the tray were two plates of a yellowish curry. "Today's menu is shirobanba. Monday is shirobanba day." "Curry always perks me up." Minami nodded. "What do you mean by shirobanba?" Otoha asked. "You don't know?" Kinoshita asked. "You haven't read it? It's from Yasushi Inoue's novel Shirobanba. It's a re-creation of the curry an old woman in the story cooks. Shirobanba, by the way, are the so-called snow bugs, teeny tiny insects that have a white puff on their wings that looks like cotton. They look like little flakes of snow.”

“What is real and what is not? In this world is there really something like a wall separating reality from the unreal? I think there might be. No, not might - there is one. But it's an entirely uncertain wall. Depending on circumstances and the person, its texture, its shape transforms. Like some living being (page 399).”
