Sea Turtles Quotes

“A historian reveals that excavations at Adichanalu determine that Thirai Meelar which means sea farers traveled across continents. It was considered a talent to be able to return back to the home turf. The reading led toward another instance of beauty. Tamil sailors used the same technique as sea-turtles to return home. Sea-turtles floated along sea currents but did not swim in oceans. I sit like a harbinger of tides along the coast, unaware of the migration or home, in search of sea-turtles.”

“She painted this one for me. We were playing ocean. Can't you see what it is?" Two dark oval shapes in the middle of the page; hard, glittering shells. Two turtles stretching their heads toward the shore. The translucent sea above the flickering seabed. Brownish black mangrove trees against warm sand. The figures on the beach are tiny, with long, flowing hair. The song floats away from them, out over the ocean; in gold and lurid pink it strikes the dark shapes of the creatures in an extravagance of light. "Those are the princesses," I say. Maraia nods. "The big song is taking them up into the light.”

“Optimismus ist eine Entscheidung. Mich selbst würde ich als kritisch-optimistisch bezeichnen: Ich glaube fest daran, dass es in Zukunft besser werden kann – ansonsten könnte ich mir gleich die Kugel geben –, aber ich lebe nicht in dem Irrglauben, dass es von allein besser wird. Uns steht immer noch harte Arbeit bevor.”
