“Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result. It’s vulnerability that breeds with self-doubt and then is escalated, often deliberately, by fear.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child—What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“For every door that’s been opened to me, I’ve tried to open my door to others. And here is what I have to say, finally: Let’s invite one another in. Maybe then we can begin to fear less, to make fewer wrong assumptions, to let go of the biases and stereotypes that unnecessarily divide us. Maybe we can better embrace the ways we are the same. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“أتظن تركيا ستعلن عن دخول الحرب مع ألمانيا ؟!"
"هل يدخلون دمشق؟"
"هل سترد أنطاكيا الافرنج أم يصلون حتى القدس؟!"
"ما قال الخليفة للمبلغ أنهم وصلوا؟"
"أيبقى من بني مروان من أحد؟"
"علام تظن أن قريش اتقصت بدار الندوة؟"
صبي لعمك يا نوار القهوة”
― تميم البرغوثي, في القدس
