“For, like the wind, the sun, or the flowing river, like a soaring man-of-war or a beetle under a stone, like a spider at a web or a crab scuttling sideways across a shore, Nimrod was free.”
Andrea Levy“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live”
Andrea Levy, The Long Song“No, no, no, no. Don't get carried away, man. One thaw is not the summer.”
Andrea Levy, Small Island“There are some words that once spoken will split the world in two. There would be the life before you breathed them and then the altered life after they'd been said. They take a long time to find, words like that. They make you hesitate. Choose with care. Hold on to them unspoken for as long as you can just so your world will stay intact.”
Andrea Levy, Small Island
