Book cover for The Question of Palestine
In sheer numerical terms, in brute numbers of bodies and property destroyed, there is absolutely nothing to compare between what Zionism has done to Palestinians and what, in retaliation, Palestinians have done to Zionists.

Donna Tartt
“Being the only female in what was basically a boys’ club must have been difficult for her. Miraculously, she didn’t compensate by becoming hard or quarrelsome. She was still a girl, a slight lovely girl who lay in bed and ate chocolates, a girl whose hair smelled like hyacinth and whose scarves fluttered jauntily in the breeze. But strange and marvelous as she was, a wisp of silk in a forest of black wool, she was not the fragile creature one would have her seem.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Pauline Albanese
“Tell them that you weren't hungry, tell them you followed the pomegranates seeds because hey tasted like blood, like love.”
Pauline Albanese, The Closed Doors

Anaïs Nin
“I have always been tormented by the image of multiplicity of selves. Some days I call it richness, and other days I see it as a disease, a proliferation as dangerous as cancer. My first concept about people around me was that all of them were coordinated into a WHOLE, whereas I was made up of a multitude of selves, of fragments.”
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

Madeline Miller
“There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Allen Ginsberg
“I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision.”
Allen Ginsberg, The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice: First Journals and Poems, 1937-1952
