“We must be the masters of our own destinies. I did not learn that until it was too late. You have to fight to take back control of your life. Sometimes you will hurt the ones you love the most. But in the end, it will always have to be your choice.”
Sabina Khan, The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali

“We are who we are. No one can change that. Just like we cannot change whom we love.”
Sabina Khan, The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali

“I've never needed a knight. I can wield my own damn sword when I need to.”
Sabina Khan, Zara Hossain Is Here
