“Pretty, that's what you think this is? You think that's all she's capable of? You fool, she's done the impossible.

“I looked up then, searched the sky. When I found the moon, I found God, when I saw the stars, I saw God, when I let myself be inhaled by the vast, expanding universe, I understood God the way Seneca once did– God is everything one sees and everything one does not see.”
― Tahereh Mafi, An Emotion of Great Delight

He and I are owed a love story that doesn't end in tragedy.”
― Zoulfa Katouh, As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow

“He looked down at me with such love in his eyes that I could feel my whole self flushing.”
― S.K. Ali, Love from Mecca to Medina
