I come from a culture that has refined the art of the dirge to a sublime level.

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.

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.

Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shadow.

See you on the other side of the screen, if you make it, earnest cyberspace cadet.

Each day has a color, a smell.

When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.

I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?

We are not to consider the world as the body of God: he is an uniform being, void of organs, members, or parts; and they are his creatures, subordinate to him, and subservient to his will.

We provide many options in many product areas that they seem to want to adopt, and that's working well for us.

Back in those days it was just me swimming around in the dark, doing back flips and taking naps whenever I want.

Unbelief is like gravity, it's always pulling down on the authority of Scripture.

This is who I am Escapist Paradise Seeker Farewell, time to fly Out of sight Out of time Away from all lies
