Every moment happens twice: inside and outside, and they are two different histories.
Zadie Smith

Zadie Smith
These days, it feels to me like you make a devil's pact when you walk into this country. You hand over your passport at the check-in, you get stamped, you want to make a little money, get yourself started... but you mean to go back! Who would want to stay? Cold, wet, miserable; terrible food, dreadful newspapers - who would want to stay? In a place where you are never welcomed, only tolerated. Just tolerated. Like you are an animal finally house-trained.
Zadie Smith
When the male organ of a man stands erect, two thirds of his intelect go away. And one third of his religion.

(About Belief & Faith)
