نغم حيدر
“ما إن تبدأ السنة الجديدة، حتى يهمّوا بلمّ الغزلان من الشوارع وإطفاء الأنوار الجميلة. يعبّئونها في شاحنات كبيرة ويكدّسونها فوق بعضها لتتشابك أسلاكها المطفأة وسيقانها الرفيعة بحجّة انتهاء الاحتفالات. لا عيون لها كي يدركوا ذلّها. لا أفواه كي يسمعوا حشرجات إطفائها الأخير وتبعثرها فوق بعضها. لا دماء فيها كي تسيل حين يلوون الأسلاك كي تتسع الشاحنات لها. سينتظرون الوقت الذي تصبح فيه زينة قديمة وعرضها غير مناسب كي يجوبوا الساحات كلّها يطاردونها.”
نغم حيدر, أعياد الشتاء

Jokha Alharthi
“Aah, the books! The thought of the enormous pleasure of books quickened Asma’s pace. It was a good moment to lose herself in their joys.”
Jokha Alharthi, Celestial Bodies

“الحقيقة أنّ نيّتي كانت أن أقوم بكلّ شيء، أي أن أعمل لهدف وأن أؤدي دور الأمّ بعناية، مثلما فعلت دائمًا. الفرق الوحيد الآن هو أنّني .صرت محطّ أنظار الكثيرين”
ميشيل أوباما, Becoming

Emma van Straaten
“Dear god is there not more to life than this? I sit and I watch others living their silly little lives, and I am ashamed to be a woman sometimes, though it is no wonder this is all we have: a desire to be small, to stay small. I know it well, from looking, from scorning, from wishing it were me. Berry-pickers, baby-raisers. Chaste and childlike. Burned at the stake. Ducked in the pond. Hanged by the neck. Stays, stomachers, corsets, girdles, Spanx, SKIMS; whalebone then steel then rubber then spandex, bodies winched into letters V and S, or numbers 1 and 8, gaining and losing value through body weight, beauty, and biological clocks. Mysterious, veering, treacherous codes: long, loose hair is innocent, until it’s whoreish; tanned flesh is lowly, until it’s exotic; cleverness is charming, until it’s embarrassing. With everything we give, we get smaller – and if we don’t, men take it anyway, pinching and nipping and penetrating. We pat creams around our eyes, cover upper arms, as men coarsen and grey good-naturedly.”
Emma van Straaten, Creep

Elif Shafak
“For the king knows that in order to dominate other cultures, you must capture not only their lands, crops and assets but also their collective imagination, their shared memories.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky
