“A new sort of grief burrows into me, a cloistered, unreachable, immutable ache. I can’t see, smell, or embrace it. It just lodges in me, taking up space, a thing within a prison within a prisoner within the Cube.”
― Susan Abulhawa, Against the Loveless World

“But I know now that going from place to place is just something exiles have to do. Whatever the reason, the earth is never steady beneath our feet.”
― Susan Abulhawa, Against the Loveless World

“For what it’s worth... it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

“It's not the accumulation of knowledge, but the realization of the self that marks the true power of the warrior.”
― Andy Diggle, Superman – Action Comics, Volume 4: Hybrid
