Even if we want to eradicate our ghosts, our dead, our murdered, even if you erase a name and the record of the existence of a person, somebody remembers.

Even though we've written epic poems and made incredible films about love, I still don't think anyone can understand what it is, or why it means everything.

I think every morning we wake up offers a new beginning, a new way of stepping into the day. I think every conversation could be a new chance.

Matters of the subconscious affect reality in ways we don't quite realize.

For Kenya: we have a chance to start again each time we meet one another. The ghosts do not need to define the future.

Every Kenyan writer has offered me something to hold onto, something to believe in.

I don't think Kenya is the only country that tries to induce amnesia - it seems to be a global phenomenon. But offenses do not die. They do not disappear.

Even if you're in charge of the grand story there's still memory. The other stories do not go away.

I can edit into infinity. It's such a joy. I'd probably edit until the last word. Until there's only one word left.

It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the processnof doing.

I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.

The thing with kids is, if they want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but it's bad if you say anything.

Life is like Candyland, there are many paths to take, sometimes you run into Lord Licorice but the end will always be Candy Castle.

I have learned that one of the most important rules in politics is poise - which means looking like an owl after you have behaved like a jackass.

It is not often that any man can have so much knowledge of another, as is necessary to make instruction useful.
