Zadie Smith Quotes: These days, it feels to me like you…

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.

("White Teeth")

Zadie Smith

So there existed fathers who dealt in the present, who didn't drag ancient history around like a ball and chain. So there were men who were not neck-deep and sinking in the quagmire of the past.
Zadie Smith

I cannot believe homosexuality is that much fun. Heterosexuality certainly is not.
Zadie Smith

Zadie Smith

You are never stronger...than when you land on the other side of despair.
Zadie Smith
