From Nanny:
"She spoke in Shangaan so that all could share wide-eyed and groan and nod and sigh in the appropriate places(12)."
-this quote is where Peekay first began to learn the importance and significance of language and communication.
"In the end it is the earth who will win, every African knows this(14)."
"Life is all beginnings and ends. Nothing stays the same, lad... Parting, losing the thing that we love the most, that's the whole business of life, that's what it's mostly about(135)."
-this quote is from Peekay's Grandpa, but I feel that his Grandpa served the same purpose in the story as Nanny, because he is providing wisdom for Peekay to live by.
