“Never put your faith in a Prince. When you require a miracle, trust in a Witch.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, In the Night Garden

“When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.”
― Taylor Swift

“it will be miraculous, very miraculous.”
― Malika Oufkir, Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail

“لا تنتقد خجلي الشديد فإنني
بسيطة جداً.. وأنت خبير
يا سيد الكلمات هب لي فرصةً
حتى يذاكر درسه العصفور
خذني بكل بساطتي وطفولتي
أنا لم أزل أحبو وأنت قدير
من أين تأتي بالفصاحة كلها
وأنا يتوه على فمي التعبير؟
أنا في الهوى لا حول لي أو قوة
إن المحب بطبعه مكسور”
― سعاد محمد الصباح
