Quote by Téa Obreht

“There are wounds of time and there are wounds of person, Misafir. Sometimes people come through their wounds, but time does not. Sometimes it's the other way around. Sometimes the wounds are so grievous, there's no coming through them at all.”

“Nobody deserves anything!' Evelyn says. "It's simply a matter of who's willing to go and take it for themselves And you, Monique, are a person who has proven to be willing to go out there and take what you want. So be honest about that.

Everyone is somewhere in between People who go around casting themselves as one or the other are not only kidding themselves, but they're also painfully unoriginal.”
