“The sadness will last forever. It wasn’t a lie. There was sadness, and there was despair, and there was pain—but there was also laughter, and joy, and relief. There was never grief without love or love without grief, and I chose to think that my aunt lived because of them.”
― Ashley Poston, The Seven Year Slip

“You are who you are, and you like what you like. You are you, and that's a lovely person to be.”

“لا أُحبُّكَ. مَنْ أَنت حتَّي أُحبَّك؟
هل أَنت بعضُ أَنايَ، وموعدُ شاي،
وبُحَّة ناي، وأُغنيّةٌ كي أُحبَّك؟
لكنني أكرهُ الاعتقالَ ولا أَكرهُكْ”
― محمود درويش, حالة حصار
