Quotes by Christopher G. Moore (?)

“The bodhi tree has been converted into a marriage tree. The belief is that young women who die before marriage should have a husband in the next world. Their relatives bring a wedding dress and monks to this tree and perform a wedding ceremony. The spirit of the dead woman is married to a famous singer, poet or magician who died many years ago. Their families believe that he’ll be a good husband will look after each wife as if she were the only one.”

“To stay married, you need a fair amount of ignorance. Selective forgetting is what makes close proximity possible. It’s what we forget about someone that lets us find some peace, some happiness.”

“Calvino remembered he had no food in the house and would have to go shopping on Sukhumvit Road. Then he planned to crawl into his bed and sleep, the kind of deep sleep without dreams or hopes, a sleep without regrets, without knowing or thinking how things got the way they are or how occasional fragments of decency escaped the forces of gravity.”
― Christopher G. Moore - Zero Hour in Phnom Penh
