“If you read a novel to the end, then it’s over. I would never want to do something as wasteful as that. I’d much rather keep it here with me, safe and sound, forever.”
― Yōko Ogawa, The Memory Police

“التطبيع فكرة ابتكرها اليساريون لإنكار الجهود السياسية للتعايش السلمي، إسرائيل تعيش بيننا، تؤثر فينا ونؤثر فيها، والفلسطينيون يعيشون بينهم بسلام، وتحمل وثائق سفرهم تأشيرات دخول وخروج إليها، بالإضافة إلى ذلك فإن التطبيع مع إسرائيل سياسة دول وليس سياسة أفراد”
― عبد السلام إبراهيم, ميراث الشمس

“I guess that happens when you become a mother, though. Your focus is no longer on yourself. Your life becomes all about this beautiful tiny little human you created.”
― Colleen Hoover, Regretting You

“I don't know what's wrong with me tonight. I feel off, unbalanced. Aching for something. I'm losing sight of my purpose, my sense of direction. I always tell myself that I'm fighting every day for hope, for the salvation of humanity, but every time I survive only to return to yet more loss and devastation, something comes loose inside of me. It's like the people and places I love are the nuts and bolts keeping me upright; without them, I'm just scrap metal.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Reveal Me
