“It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answer”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“أنام وفي العين ثقب كبير
فأوهم نفسي بأني أنام
وأصحو وفي القلب خوف عميق
فأمضغ في الصمت بعض الكلام
أقول لنفسي كلاماً كثيراً
وأسمع نفسي..
وألمح في الليل شيئاً مخيفاً
يطوف برأسي
ويخنق صوتي..
ويسقط في الصمت كل الكلام”
― فاروق جويدة, شيء سيبقى بيننا

“Some days, I listen to that clock ticking in the hallway. Then I think of all the ticks, all the minutes, all the hours and days and weeks and months and years waiting for me. All of it without you. And I can’t breathe then, like someone’s stepping on my heart. I get so weak. So weak I just want to collapse somewhere.”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“some people are so stupid that they actually think there are thick neon lines separating good and evil. That it’s easy to make that kind of distinction and go to sleep at night with a clear conscience.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me
