Quotable

Quotable is a new meme that I've decided to start participating in! Each Friday, I'll give you a quote that struck me during my reading. Some might be old, some might be from a current read! Either way, I hope you enjoy reading them!

“Quite often, I felt that these stories were offered to me the way that shipwrecked people, neither drowned nor saved, send messages in bottles: in hope that, even if the legends they carry can do the teller no good, they may at some other time be of use to somebody, somewhere else.”

- We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda by Philip Gourevitch

Quotable is hosted by Bookish Ruth

Great quote. This is a book I've been wanting to read. I'll have to try this meme myself!

Thanks for participating this week!
