“His smile is laced with dynamite. "Go to sleep"
"Go to hell."
He works his jaw. Walks to the door. "I'm working on it.”

“You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.”

“أنا و أنت لا نصلح لنكون معاً ،
جربنا القُرب مراتٍ عديدة ، وفي كل مرة كُنت تخذلني أكثر !
لم تَستطع يوماً أن تكون لي كما أُريد
و لم أكن لكَ يوماً ما كُنت تنتظر
لهذا فقط أقول لكَ
عُذراً سيدي فالقلب لم يعد يحتمل كلُ ما لحق به بُهتان و يطمح الآن لبر الأمان !”
― نبال قندس

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
