(Belated) Happy Roald Dahl Day!

September 14, 2018 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ 2 Comments

Road Dahl was one of the iconic figures and lasting voices of my childhood. And so in honour of what would have been his 102nd Birthday, here are some excellent quotes from the master author himself.

The Words

August 31, 2018August 30, 2018 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ Leave a comment

They're just there. For as long as I remember their low murmur has been there in the deep parts of my mind, trickling down the back of my throat so that I can't quite taste them.

May 25, 2018May 25, 2018 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ 2 Comments

Once upon a time, I thought that maybe the doctors and nurses at these clinics didn't know, that perhaps they had simply never realised. I was naive back then. There is no way that they do not know and that is the great evil of what they choose to do.
