Margaret Atwood
“Why must I suffer? The ultimate puzzle. That is what it is to be human, I suppose: to question the terms of existence.”
― Margaret Atwood, Old Babes in the Wood: Stories

“I feel like my life is made up of tiny puzzle parts that no longer fit together. Imagine working on a puzzle only to find that the final picture can never be complete because one of its pieces is missing. This is exactly what's happened to my life; it has become impossible to put it back together.”
― Zeina Kassem, Crossing
