“Never ignore the feelings that don't seem to make sense.”
“It doesn't pay to ignore warnings. Even when they don't make sense.”
“I cannot choose to ignore this feeling, of life slowly bleeding out of me. I cannot ignore the fact that life only makes sense to me when I see a smile, or feel another hand in mine.”
“Feelings aren't sensible. Sometimes you fall in love with people who don't make sense. And the ones who do make sense turn out to be the wrong ones.”
“... instead of trying to grapple with the implications of the story of empire, the British seem to have decided just to ignore it... the most corrosive part of this amnesia is a sense that because the nation is not what it was, it can never be anything again.”
“But feelings can't be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem.”
