Kindle Notes & Highlights
The world would have been a much more interesting place if everyone was given a chance to meet their ancestors at least for an hour in their lifetime.
It doesn’t occur to him that we are drawn to the kind of stories that are already present within us,
perplexed by the way the upper classes speak. They have a circuitous way of expressing themselves. He can never tell whether he is being genuinely praised or subtly mocked.
where he comes from the new year takes place not when blossom garlands the trees, chicks call from nests, lambs bounce around and the earth is revived but in the midst of freezing winter.
