I hate reading a book and not being able to locate myself. — Sue Nyathi

"life has light moments and dark moments. It’s not just a canvas painted with one brush, and so I just wanted to bring all that together to show the different layers, the happy and sad moments"

"I knew a lot about European history, but I couldn’t tell you anything substantial about African history"

"my early reading was devoid of Black writers and African literature as a whole"

"write for love before you consider writing for money"

"Most of the books I read reinforce the way I think and view things"

"I think there is a tendency of viewing happiness as a destination and that you can exist in that state forever, I dont buy that."
