“Good can be done at anytime, anywhere, to anyone, by anyone. We live our lives thinking up so many rules.”
“Historians, I think, should be keepers of truth. We must tell things as they are—honestly, and without subversion. That is the greatest good one can do.“
“This is what I’ve always been, she’d think, much later. Someone who does not intervene in her own life, but only watches, and works behind the scenes.”
“One day you’ll know, her Auntie Vinya told her. And understand. You’ll figure yourself out. And things will be all right.”
“Because it is all I know.”
“I have known very few good people. But I think that you are one of them.”
