01UndatedMy son, there may be a time when I explain these things to you, because there may be a time when I understand them.Hanif Kureishi / quote ↗
02UndatedNow, watching her sleep, and closing his eyes, he felt, in this particular intimacy - stowed beneath her duvet - that he was intruding. At the same time, he knew, settling down, you couldn´t dislike anyone you'd seen sleepHanif Kureishi / quote ↗
03UndatedYet velvet curtains, soft cheese, compelling work and boys who can run full-tilt—it isn't enough. And if it isn't, it isn't. There's no living with that. The world is made from our imagination; our eyes enliven it, as our hands give it shape. Wanting makes it thrive; meaning is what you put in, not what you extract. You only see what you are inclined to see, and no more. We have to make the new.Hanif Kureishi / quote ↗
05UndatedWhen Victor Hugo was buried, you couldn’t find a whore in all of Paris. They were too busy paying their respects. That was a man – and he still has a show on in the West End.Hanif Kureishi / quote ↗
