“You can either choose love or you can choose hate, because where one lives, the other will die.”
― Leylah Attar, The Paper Swan

“Hope is a hollow backbone. It can’t always carry the weight of reality.”
― Leylah Attar, The Paper Swan

“How deluded we become when we start believing that everything in the world is about us. How hard we work to make things fit into our made-up theories. How blindly we follow our worked-up emotions, the good, the bad and the ugly.”
― Leylah Attar, The Paper Swan

“In the grand scheme of things, we do the best we can, all of us, and we make up our stories as we go along; we write them and direct them and project them into the world. And sometimes we get other people’s stories, and sometimes we don’t, but always there is a story behind a story behind a story, linked in a chain that we can only see a small part of, because it’s there when we’re born and it continues after we’re gone. And who can comprehend all of it in one lifetime?”
― Leylah Attar, The Paper Swan
