Here you go — here’s a powerful and memorable Zadie Smith quotation that features the imagery of rowing a boat:
“Not everyone wants this conventional little life you’re rowing your boat toward. I like my river of fire. And when it’s time for me to go I fully intend to roll off my one-person dinghy into the flames and be consumed. I’m not afraid.”
— Zadie Smith, NW
This quote beautifully captures the metaphor of life as a boat journey—highlighting the idea of steering toward a predictable existence versus embracing something more intense, personal, and courageous.
Would you like more context about NW (the novel this is from), or perhaps explore other Smith quotes with strong imagery or life metaphors?
