Quotes by Mohsin Hamid  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We are all migrants through time.”
Mohsin Hamid, Exit West
tags: time

“We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees. Writers and readers seek a solution to the problem that time passes, that those who have gone are gone and those who will go, which is to say every one of us, will go. For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create.”
Mohsin Hamid, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia

“To love is to enter into the inevitability of one day not being able to protect what is most valuable to you.”
Mohsin Hamid, Exit West
