Iban Dream (Iban Dream #1) QUOTES

1 " Do you ever consider the ground you trample on every day? She is lower than you, yet large beyond measure. You treat her like a servant, although it is by her blessing that your life prospers. Without her you will fall, without her there will be no trees and vines. Where will you find thread to cloth yourself? Or will you cover yourself with the skin of another man? Everything exists for a reason. A man is your brother, an infant is your child. Even the worth of your strength is the magnitude of someone's need. "

― Golda Mowe , Iban Dream (Iban Dream #1)

2 " See this Tualang here. It is a symbol of ever growing strength. It reminds us that the bloodline of a man is not important. His roots may be shallow, but if he were like this tree then even his weakest origin will grow into buttresses and hold him up as he reaches for the heavens. "

― Golda Mowe , Iban Dream (Iban Dream #1)

3 " Because this is the land of Sengalang Burong, and in the customs of this land the title of chief is never inherited, it is earned. No man can claim greatness from the labours of another. "
