Alexandra Fuller Quotes

The memoirs that have come out of Africa are sometimes startlingly beautiful, often urgent, and essentially life-affirming, but they are all performances of courage and honesty Picture Quote #1

This is not a full circle. It’s life carrying on. It’s the next breath we all take. It’s the choice we make to get on with it Picture Quote #1

People who disagree with His Excellency, the President for Life and ‘Chief of Chiefs,’ are frequently found to be the victims of car crashes (their bodies mysteriously riddled with bullets); or dead in their beds of heart attacks (their bodies mysteriously riddled with bullets); or the recipients of some not-quite-fresh seafood (their bodies mysteriously riddled with bullets) Picture Quote #1

I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I’ve never heard of before Picture Quote #1

Until I read Anne Frank’s diary, I had found books a literal escape from what could be the harsh reality around me. After I read the diary, I had a fresh way of viewing the both literature and the world. From then on, I found I was impatient with books that were not honest or that were trivial and frivolous Picture Quote #1

How you see a country depends on whether you are driving through it, or live in it. How you see a country depends on whether or not you can leave it, if you have to Picture Quote #1

In ways I don’t entirely have the words for, an experience, thought or a lesson isn’t real for me until I’ve written down Picture Quote #1

You can’t rewind war. It spools on, and on, and on, looping and jumping, distorted and cracked with age, and the stories contract until only the nuggets of hatred remain and no one can even remember, or imagine, why the war was organized in the first place Picture Quote #1

This is not a full circle. It’s life carrying on. It’s the next breath we all take. It’s the choice we make to get on with it Picture Quote #1
