مُنيرَة

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“يا عالم الغيب! ذنبي أنت تعرفه، وأنت تعلم إعلاني و إسراري... و أنت أدرى بإيمان مننت به علي، ما خدشته كل أوزاري... أحببت لقياك حسن الظن يشفع لي، أيرتجى العفو إلا عند غفار؟”
― غازي عبد الرحمن القصيبي, حديقة الغروب
