We've been locked out. And when we look in through the windows, all we see are shadows. And when we try and listen, all we hear is whispering. And we cannot understand the whispering, because our minds have been invaded by a war. A war that we have won and lost. The very worst sort of war. A war that captures dreams and re-dreams them. A war that has made us adore our conquerors and despise ourselves. We're the prisoners of war. Our dreams have been doctored. We belong nowhere. We sail unanchored on troubled seas. We may never be allowed ashore. Our sorrows will never be sad enough. Our joys never happy enough. Our dreams never big enough. Our lives never important enough. To matter. ~ The God of Small Things . . . . . . . #captionoftheday #quote #thegodofsmallthings #bookish #words #wordsofwisdom #war #dreams #bookalicious #nerdofinstagram #likeforlikeback #likeforlikes #followfollow #booksbooksbooks #quoteoftheday #readthecaption #read #wordstagram #thegodofsmallthingsbyarundhatiroy #arundhatiroy #prisoners #prisonersofwar #life #bookstagrammer #booklover #wordlover #wordlovers #lines #definition #notestagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_r6426gdaW/?igshid=qosa1e0x3eob
