― Noor Shirazie

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”
― Suzy Kassem

“I am drowning in negativism, self-hate, doubt, madness - and even I am not strong enough to deny the routine, the rote, to simplify. No, I go plodding on, afraid that the blank hell in back of my eyes will break through, spewing forth like a dark pestilence; afraid that the disease which eats away the pith of my body with merciless impersonality will break forth in obvious sores and warts, screaming "Traitor, sinner, imposter.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“At times there's something so precise and mathematically chilling about nationalism.

― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living
