“Some people are radiators, and others are drains.”
― Sara Jafari, The Mismatch

“Was it treacherous, she wondered, to abandon one's own country when times had gotten difficult? Neda and Hossein went to small demonstrations together in the streets, with hundreds of others. shouting for democracy, for a new leader. but it was dangerous, and despite always displaying outer strength, she didn't want to have to fight anymore. There was talk of friends of friends being taken to prison, tortured for talking against the Shah.”
― Sara Jafari, The Mismatch

“You don’t need to be strong all the time,’ he says, still holding her. ‘Let it out.’ But Shirin’s thinking, That’s the whole problem. She is not strong enough. She is not enough.”
― Sara Jafari, People Change

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
― Oscar Wilde

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You
