Marjane Satrapi
“Prosperity consists of two things: tea after a meal, and a cigarette after tea.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
Rumi

Marjane Satrapi
“I finally understood what my grandmother meant. If I wasn't comfortable with myself, I would never be comfortable.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Besides, humility had always seemed to him a specious thing, invented for the comfort of others; you were praised for humility by people because you did not make them feel any more lacking than they already did.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Ifemelu decided to stop faking an American accent on a sunlit day in July, the same day she met Blaine. It was convincing, the accent. She had perfected, from careful watching of friends and newscasters, the blurring of the t, the creamy roll of the r, the sentences starting with “so,” and the sliding response of “oh really,” but the accent creaked with consciousness, it was an act of will. It took an effort, the twisting of lip, the curling of tongue. If she were in a panic, or terrified, or jerked awake during a fire, she would not remember how to produce those American sounds.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
