Children Quote by Hari Kunzru
““This has been a wonderful year for us, because your little sister arrived. Your mother and I are so happy; we feel very lucky to have the two of you. But this year, the world has been changing around us, and sometimes, after we put you to bed, we sit in the kitchen and say the names of cities. We say the names of countries. What would it be like to live there? Or there? Smart people should be able to make plans for their children. They should keep their children safe. So we have been talking about cities.””
