“ثم أفكر بمرارة أنّ موتى الحروب، وخاصة الفقراء منهم، هم أولاد لا أحد.”

“راحت تتساءل عما ستطلبه من القديس فوق وقد ماتت أمها ونامت في القبر وهي لن تقوم. فقط يسوع يقيم الأموات من القبور، وشربل لم يشتد بعد عوده في السماء لدرجة إحياء الموتى.”
― هدى بركات, ملكوت هذه الأرض

“ماذا نعرف عن بشر عاشوا حروباً أهلية؟ عنفاً ودماراً وخسارات وخيبات؟ وخوفاً مريعاً، بلا شك؟ كيف يتحوّلون، وما الذي يتغيّر فيهم ويقسو؟ في المربع الأخير من الحياة، ذلك الذي يغدو الموت فيه قريباً ومحتملاً بشدة، لا يعود القلب سوى مضخة للاستعمال المفيد. دم ساخن يدفق بقوة في الأعضاء من أجل الهرب، لا من أجل أي شيء آخر سوى الهرب.”
― هدى بركات, بريد الليل
