V. S. Naipaul Zitate

We made no inquiries about India or about the families people had left behind. When our ways of thinking had changed, and we wished to know, it was too late. I know nothing of the people on my father's side; I know only that some of them came from Nepal.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir haben keine Nachforschungen über Indien oder über die Familien gemacht, die die Menschen zurückgelassen hatten. Als sich unsere Denkweise geändert hatte und wir wissen wollten, war es zu spät. Ich weiß nichts von den Leuten meines Vaters. Ich weiß nur, dass einige von ihnen aus Nepal kamen.

'Free' is more of that 'familiarity breeds contempt' kind of thing. It's about saying 'Wait, I'm longing for something more than I have and I don't know what it is that I want, but I know I want it.' It has nothing to do with what I'm going through, personally.

Before I went to New Orleans, I was a little scared of New Orleans. I don't know why. I had only been there a few times. Something about it made me feel nervous, knowing a bit about the history.
