Quotes by Mai Al-Nakib (?)

“In quiet crevices, life is born over and over again, without witness, without recognition. It happens, feverishly or serenely, fast or slow, and the guardians or propriety remain laughably ignorant.”
― Mai Al-Nakib, The Hidden Light of Objects

tags: life, propriety

“It was a fruit we had never seen before, larger than an apple, about the size of a grapefruit. It was round and yellow like the leaves of a neglected book.”

“Meredith was good, so incredibly good, and Charles had fallen, without fireworks, for that goodness. But goodness did not transfer. Being with someone good does not make you good. This it would take years for Charles to comprehend.”
― Mai Al-Nakib, The Hidden Light of Objects
