Book cover for Salt Houses
This was the aversion Riham felt toward those shrewd, bearded men on television—they spoke of the greatness of Allah, of servitude and humility, but they were cloaked in fury, preoccupied with it. They were simply angry.

George R.R. Martin
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Marshall B. Rosenberg
“All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished.”
Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life

Marshall B. Rosenberg
“Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.”
Marshall Rosenberg

George R.R. Martin
“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Mahmoud Darwish
“سَيَمْضي زمانٌ طويلٌ ليصبح حاضرنا ماضيًا مثْلنا
سَنمْضي إلى حتْفنا، أوّلاً، سنُدافع عن شَجرٍ نَرْتَديه
وَعَنْ جَرَس اللّيل، عن قمرٍ، فوق أكواخنا نشْتهيه
وعن طيش غزلاننا سندافع، عن طين فخّارِنا سَندُافعُ
وعن ريشنا في جناح الأغاني الأخيرة. عمّا قَليل
تُقيمون عالمكُمْ فَوْق عالمنا: مِنْ مقابرنا تَفْتَحون الطّريق
إلى الْقمر الاصطناعيّ. هذا زمان الصّناعات. هذا
زمانُ المعادن، من قطعةِ الفحْم تبزغُ شمْبانيا الأقْوياءْ
هُنالك موْتى ومستوطناتٌ، وموْتى وبولدوزراتٌ، وموْتى
ومستشْفياتٌ، وموتى وشاشاتُ رادار ترْصُدُ مَوْتى
يموتون أكثر من مرّةٍ فى الحياة، وَتَرصُدُ موتى
يعيشون بَعْد الممات، وموْتى يُربّونَ وحْش الحضارات مَوْتًا،
وموتى يموتون كيْ يحملوا الأرض فوق الرّفات
إلى أيْن، يا سيّد البيض، تأخُذُ شعْبي،... وشعْبَك
إلى أيّ هاويةٍ يأخذ الأرض هذا الرّوبوتُ المدجّج بالطّائرات
وحَامِله الطّائرات، إلى أيّ هاويةٍ رحبةٍ تصعدون
لكم ما تشاؤون: رُوما الجديدة، إسْبارطةُ التكنولوجيا
وأيديولوجيا الجنون”
محمود درويش, أحد عشر كوكبا
