“I don't give a shit what the world thinks. I was born a bitch, I was born a painter, I was born fucked. But I was happy in my way. You did not understand what I am. I am love. I am pleasure, I am essence, I am an idiot, I am an alcoholic, I am tenacious. I am; simply I am ... You are a shit.”
― Frida Kahlo

“يظن الآباء أنهم بصفعاتهم يؤهلوننا لعالمٍ قاسٍ لن يربت على ظهورنا. لا يدرون أن ربتاتهم الغائبة هي ما كانت ستؤهلنا لقسوته، وأن صفعاتهم لم تصنع فينا سوى أن منحت الخوف وطنًا داخل نفوسنا!”
― عماد رشاد عثمان, أبي الذي أكره: تأملات حول التعافي من إساءات الأبوين وصدمات النشأة

“I don't paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.”
― Frida Kahlo

“I love you more than my own skin and even though you don’t love me the same way, you love me anyways, don’t you? And if you don’t, I’ll always have the hope that you do, and i’m satisfied with that. Love me a little. I adore you.”
― Frida Kahlo
