“يبدو الشعور بالذنب وكأنه الشعور الذي يوحّد الأمهات على اختلافهن .”
― إيمان مرسال Iman Mersal, كيف تلتئم: عن الأمومة وأشباحها

“I don't often talk—or even think—about it. It's sort of a nebulous, patchy memory. But the parts I recall, I remember with clarity.”
― Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

“The idea that we are better off with one person for the rest of our lives is not an innate truth of existence. It’s a belief we want to be true. Forfeiting solitude, independence, is a much greater sacrifice than most of us realize. Sharing a habitat, a life, is for sure harder than being alone. In fact, coupled living seems virtually impossible, doesn’t it? To find another person to spend all your life with? To age with and change with? To see every day, to respond to their moods and needs?”
― Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

“Now it's my heart. I'm angry with it. The constant beating. We're wired to be unaware of it, so why am I aware of it now? Why is the beating making me angry? Because I don't have a choice. When you become aware of your heart, you want it to stop beating. You need a break from the constant rhythm, a rest. We all need a rest.”
― Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things
