W. Somerset Maugham
“You are a deeply religious man who doesn't believe in God.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge

Nur Masalha
“Moreover, until the advent of anachronistic European political Zionism at the turn of the 20th century the people of Palestine (Arabic: sha’b Filastin) included Arab Muslims, Arab Christians and Arab Jews. Being a rendering of the Israeli Zionist/Palestinian conflict, historically speaking the binary of Arab versus Jew in Palestine is deeply misleading.”
Nur Masalha, Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History

Sally Rooney
“But I’m very happy that I met you. And even knowing that you’re alive, I feel like my life will be a lot better. Just being able to remember – being with you, and having such a nice experience together.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

Sally Rooney
“You can drive yourself crazy thinking about different things you could have done in the past.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

James Baldwin
“Love has never been a popular movement. And no one's ever wanted, really, to be free. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course, you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person. You could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide, in yourself, not to be.”
James Baldwin
