“ليس من مهمتنا أن يحكم أحدنا على إيمان الآخر.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“سـ تتعلمين كيف تتخلين كل مرة عن شيء منك ..
كيف تتركين كل مرة أحداً .. أو مبدأ .. أو حلماً .. !
نحن نأتي الحياة كـ من ينقل أثاثه و أشياءه ..
محملين بـ المباديء .. مثقلين بـ الأحلام ..
محوطين بـ الأهل و الأصدقاء ..
ثم كلما تقدم بنا السفر ..
فقدنا شيئاً .. و تركنا خلفنا أحداً ..
لـ يبقى لنا في النهاية ما نعتقده الأهم .. !
و الذي أصبح كذلك .. لـ أنه تسلق سلم الأهميات ..
بعدما فقدنا ما كان منه أهم .. !!”
― أحلام مستغانمي, فوضى الحواس

“What if I forgave myself? I thought. What if I forgave myself even though I'd done something I shouldn't have? What if I was a liar and a cheat and there was no excuse for what I'd done other than because it was what I wanted and needed to do? What if I was sorry, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't do anything differently than I had done? What if I'd actually wanted to fuck every one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if yes was the right answer instead of no? What if what made me do all those things everyone thought I shouldn't have done was what also had got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?”

“Everyone wanted to be the best. Best student. Best servant. Best Christian. They got caught up in it, pressing and pushing until they forgot whom it was they were trying to please.”
― Francine Rivers, The Atonement Child
