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

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.

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.

Burma evoked the lost Kenyan soldiers who served in the war. You never hear about them. There were a significant number of casualties, men who never came back home. But they're never commemorated.

I like talking to myself and making patterns out of the letters of the alphabet on blank surfaces.

It may not seem that way, but I am an absolute optimist, an unrepentant optimist.

They've been stepping on my toes for years. It's just a reason to get new boots.

And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.

Some people explore who they think they might be. Then some people explore who they already are and empower it.

I was lucky because logarithmic plots are a device of the devil.

It sucks the way the world works. You can do a hundred things for people, but you do one bad mistake and everyone crucifies you and that's all they want to remember.

I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.

I've gotten to the place where I find life too short for if-only.

Jesse, this is Craig. Craig, Jesse. You two should get along. Jesse's dead, too.

There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it; none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.

Probably, the single most prevalent claim advanced by the proponents of a new paradigm is that they can solve the problems that led the old one to a crisis.
