Quotes by Marwan Hisham (?)

“They gave us watches and took away time They gave us shoes and took the paths They gave us parliaments and took freedom They gave us playground swings and took celebrations They gave us dried milk and took childhood They gave us fertilizers and took spring They gave us guards and locks and took safety They gave us rebels and took the revolution. —MUHAMMAD AL-MAGHOUT,”

“was as the poet Ilyas Farhat described: “I head west, chasing after a livelihood while it is heading east…And I swear, had I headed east, that livelihood would have been heading west.”

“It would take me a few weeks outside that cycle of conflicts to realize that I am destined to be centerless, one lone flaming planet outside of a livable orbit. Opportunistically, I should like to present my definition of destiny: It is what I should have avoided but I dared not. It is what I wanted to embrace even when I saw in it my death. It is the seductive angels of fire and the celebrating djinns. It is what I must break ties with and commit apostasy.”
― Marwan Hisham, Brothers of the Gun: A Memoir of the Syrian War
