More From Henning Mankell

...fact was she knew more about them than she knew about herself, having never had the map to discover what she was like. could she sing? (was it nice to hear when she did?) was she pretty? was she a good friend? could she have been a loving mother? a faithful wife? have i got a sister and does she favor me? if my mother knew me would she like me?

It was the easiest thing in the world for arya to step up behind him and stab him. “is there gold hidden in the village?” she shouted as she drove the blade up through his back. “is there silver? gems?” she stabbed twice more. “is there food? where is lord beric?” she was on top of him by then, still stabbing. “where did he go? how many men were with him? how many knights? how many bowmen? how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many? is there gold in the village?

India was the motherland of our race, and sanskrit the mother of europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the buddha, of the ideals embodied in christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. mother india is in many ways the mother of us all.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

One thing i did have under my belt was, my mother lost her mother when she was 11. she mourned her mother her whole life and made my grandmother seem present even though i never met her. i couldn't imagine how my mom could go on but she did, she took care of us, she worked two jobs and had four children. she was such a good example of how to conduct oneself in a time of grief. when i lost my husband, i tried to model myself as much as i could on her.
Mom Mother Jobs
She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.
Smart Stupid Cat

If someone says something unpleasant, i can't say it doesn't smart a bit. it always does. someone can take a really nasty swipe if they want because it kind of feels powerful for a person to write in a paper and get that thing out there.

I think that people are able to see that i am working hard, that i am striving openly, honestly and sincerely to achieve the results the results our country needs. i think that they are also able to see that not all goes well. our people are smart and sharp-sighted. yet, i believe that the main thing is to sincerely aspire to achieve the maximum, so that the country feels more secure and people live better. that's precisely how i am trying to go about my work.
