Quotes by Abeer Abdullah (?)

“My eyes have adjusted to the colorlessness
of living in a country like this
But brutal to give the prisoner a window
And every now and then I can see
And it makes my outline crumble.”
― Abeer Abdullah, The World Is Too Full to Talk About

“Had I not come from the core of her bones
I do not think my mother would have ever loved me.”

“I am a seed incapable of growth I can’t write you any poetry
I can’t apologise eloquently, I can’t show you your beauty. I can’t be lovely to be around.”

Abeer’s Quotes

“That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
