“but I will be my own shelter, my landing place. Like a snail, I will carry home on my back, find it where I happen to be, make it from what I bear inside me.”
Brinda Charry, The East Indian: A Novel

“The dead, simply by passing into death, somehow become innocent of all charges; it is we, the living, who bear the burden of guilt.

[Tony]”
Brinda Charry, The East Indian

“But the truth is that Lydia believed that right and wrong were thorny in this complicated place, as were truth, justice, and mercy. The one thing you can do is walk onward. There is a reason, she said, why nature did not give us eyes on the backs of our heads. What is done is done.

[Tony]”
Brinda Charry, The Hottest Day of the Year
