“لكن أحدًا لم يسمع دبيب التاريخ الآتي؛ لأن الطغاة لا ينتبهون -إلا بعد فوات الأوان- لصوت التاريخ.”
― صلاح عيسى, حكايات من دفتر الوطن

“You think, but you don’t know. You don’t know anything about what it’s like to find your other half, I would take anything she chose to give me—the tiniest fraction or her entire world. I would take her for a single night knowing that I’ll lose her by morning, and I would hold on to her and never let go. I would take her healthy, or sick, or tired, or angry, or strong, and it would be my fucking privilege. I would take her problems, her gifts, her moods, her passions, her jokes, her body—I would take every last thing, if she chose to give it to me.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Bride

“Out of all the people I’ve met, the things I’ve wanted, the places I’ve been, none has ever felt as necessary as you do. Because I love you. I love you in a way I didn’t think I was capable of. I love you because you showed me how to fall in love. And I don’t regret it, Rue. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Even if you can never say it back. Even if you never think about me again after today. Even if you were right after all, and you’re not capable of love.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Not in Love

“I deserve you least of all. But I want you the most.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Cruel Winter with You
