“1. I realised how short this life is, how something you think belongs to you can be snatched away at a moment’s notice. ( Pg. 8)

2. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about life, it’s this: when you are not supposed to do something, you will find it near impossible to resist and when you have to do something, you’ll find any number of excuses to avoid doing it. ( Pg. 44)

3. I guess that is a mercy for the dead: they don’t have to watch the living falling apart as they grieve.( Pg 92)

4. someone can’t hear you doesn’t mean that they can’t understand you, that they can’t be your friend.
( Pg 95)

5. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in my short time on earth, it is that you don’t have to look, behave or think like everyone else to achieve. Just be sincere, work hard and Allah will take care of the rest.
( Pg 112)
