Ammar Habib
“When the masses are against you, when fear is on every side, and when it seems like you are standing alone, that is when you should stand the tallest. That is when you plant yourself like a mountain, and you do what your heart knows is right. Even if death will be your only reward.”
Ammar Habib, The Heart of Aleppo: A Story of the Syrian Civil War

“That’s the thing: as the communications adage goes, nothing kills a bad product faster than good advertising, and people now knew full well that Bashar’s promised winds of change had been nothing but dust in the wind.”
Rime Allaf
