“Emotionally immature parents fear genuine emotion and pull back from emotional closeness. They use coping mechanisms that resist reality rather than dealing with it. They don’t welcome self-reflection, so they rarely accept blame or apologize. Their immaturity makes them inconsis-tent and emotionally unreliable, and they’re blind to their children’s needs once their own agenda comes into play.”
― Lindsay C. Gibson

“لو صام العالم الإسلامي كله يوما واحدا و بذل نفقات هذا اليوم الواحد لفلسطين, لأغناها
لو صام المسلمون كلهم يوما واحدا لإعانة فلسطين, لقال النبي مفاخرا الانبياء: هذه امتي”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, وحي القلم

“​Now I'm awake to the world. I was asleep before. That's how we let it happen. When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.”
― Margaret Atwood
