Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Families without songs are unhappy families.
My wound is geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.
The safe places could only be visited; they could only grant a momentary intuition of sanctuary. The moment always came when we had to return to our real life to face the wounds and grief indigenous to our homr by the river.
I don't believe in happy families.
One of the greatest gifts you can get as a writer is to be born into an unhappy family.
