If life were fair, the bird and I would be living in Cartagena, not South Florida, where all of the world’s crap seems to accumulate.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

Marjan Kamali
“Part of Darya had always felt ashamed of her homesickness for Iran. How could she be homesick for a place filled with cruel laws and bottomless sadness? Because it was filled with so much more than that. Because her father was still there. Because her sister was too. Because the lemon trees and pomegranates were still there. Because the poetry was still there. Because her ancestors had cultivated a life and a legacy there. Because that place was home. Her home.”
Marjan Kamali , Together Tea

Marjan Kamali
“A whipped cream-laden cup of calories masquerading as coffee.

It's always through the women that the men express their agenda. Now she has to cover up so they can feel like they are in power.

Religion is a crutch for the weak. An escape. An illusion. A means to get manipulated.”
Marjan Kamali, Together Tea

“There are few nicer things than sitting up in bed, drinking strong tea, and reading.”
Alan Clark
