“اشمخي برأسك حتي عنان السماء ، ولا تغفلي عن أن ربك القوي لا يحب الضعفاء ، املئي صدرك بسرّ الحياة ، وتيقني أنك في حضرة الله الذي سوّاك حُرّة ، وأن هذه الحرية هي أمانته التي حملتها بعد أن أبت السماوات والأرض والجبال أن يحملنها وأشفقن منها ، وقولي لمن يعترض الطريق لا ولا ولا”
― سحر الموجي, دارية

“Moments before sleep are when she feels most alive, leaping across fragments of the day, bringing each moment into the bed with her like a child with schoolbooks and pencils. The day seems to have no order until these times, which are like a ledger for her, her body full of stories and situations.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
