Kiran Desai Quotes

They Were Falling Back Into Familiarity, Into Common Ground, Into The Dirty Gray. Just Ordinary Humans In Ordinary Opaque Boiled-egg Light, Without Grace, Without Revelation, Composite Of Contradictions, Easy Principles, Arguing About What They Half Believed In Or Even What They Didn't Believe In At All, Desiring Comfort As Much As Raw Austerity, Authenticity As Much As Playacting, Desiring Coziness Of Family As Much As To Abandon It Forever. Cheese And Chocolate They Wanted, But Also To Kick All These Bloody Foreign Things Out. A Wild Daring Love ... But Also A Rice And Dal Love Blessed By The Unexciting Feel Of Everyday, Its Surprises Safely Enmeshed In Something Solidly Familiar ... Every Single Contradiction History Or Opportunity Might Make Available To Them, Every Contradiction They Were Heir To, They Desired. But Only As Much, Of Course, As They Desired Purity And A Lack Of Contradiction.
