Quotes by Shehan Karunatilaka  (?)

“Evil is not what we should fear. Creatures with power acting in their own interest: that is what should make us shudder.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

“Because, on reflection, once you have seen your own face and recognized the color of your eyes, tasted the air and smelled the soil, drunk from the purest fountains and the dirtiest wells, that is the kindest thing you can say abut life. It's not nothing.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

“All stories are recycled and all stories are unfair. Many get luck, and many get misery. Many are born to homes with books, many grow up in the swamps of war. In the end, all becomes dust. All stories conclude with a fade to black.”
Shehan Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
