Quote by Jeanine Bennedict

“People reply in a lot of ways when they learn a loved one has died. “I’m sorry for your loss” is the most prevalent, followed by, “You must miss them.” But the truth is that they’re not sorry. And the hurt doesn’t lessen just because they apologize or even acknowledge the pain. And when they try to give advice—like the fact that time heals all, and you’ll feel better, just give it a while—they’re wrong. It will always hurt so fucking much, it just won’t hurt as often.”

“In Sri Lanka, nothing succeeds like death-it is the ultimate validation. The man you hate in life becomes instantly your idol in death. Any neglected artist can take heart; reviled whilst alive, he only has to wait patiently for death to become the national hero he has always yearned to be.”

“Ognuno ha il suo monumento di parole e di ricordi, ma qui non si sa scrivere e le parole non scritte son già scancellate e i ricordi muoiono con la morte di chi ricorda: la morte di un uomo, in queste parti del mondo dove non c'è tradizione scritta, non è soltanto la morte di quell'uomo, ma anche di tutti i parenti morti che lui nella sua mente conteneva. Lui viene a sua volta ricordato e contenuto nella mente di coloro che gli vogliono bene. Andare verso la morte è come camminare tenendosi per mano e formando una catena. L'umanità sarà giusta quando la catena stringerà tutti gli uomini, allora la storia avrà un senso positivo, cioè collettivo.”

“न होना तेरा कभी सबब नहीं था मेरी उदासी का आज क्यूँ फिर खल रहा है तेरा यूँ वक़्त से पहले गुज़र जाना ? वो आया और आकर चला गया तोड़ गया सब्र के मेरे सारे बाँध हाँ, वही था वह ! वही चिर-परिचित साया तेरा !”
