“we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us.

― حسن سامي يوسف, رسالة إلى فاطمة

“My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh.
But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.”

“Delicacy and dignity are taught by one's own heart, not by a dancing master.”
