Sunday Sentence: In the Shadow of the Banyan

July 14, 2013

Sunday Sentence: The best sentence(s) from this week, out of context and without commentary. Inspired by David Abrams at The Quivering Pen.

 

In the Shadow of the Banyan Tree
Simon & Schuster, 2012

The best I could hope was to draw from each the light I needed to guide myself on this dark and uncertain path. The rest I’d have to do on my own. And my aloneness, this solitude, would be my strength.  –In the Shadow of the Banyan by Vaddey Ratner
