"The sun has just risen, weak and watery-looking, like it had just spilled itself over the horizon and is too lazy to clean itself up."

Previous Quote

An island can be dreadful for someone from outside. Everything is complete, and everyone has his obstinate, sure and self-sufficient place. Within their shores, everything functions according to rituals that are as hard as rock from repetition, and at the same time they amble through their days as whimsically and casually as if the world ended at the horizon.
