Book cover for I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
am a refugee, too, forced to live far away from my own country. As my father says, we might be the world’s best-treated refugees, in a nice house with everything we need, but we still yearn for our homeland.

Oscar Wilde
“Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired, women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“AMOS CONTI'S PRECEPT
Don't try too hard to be cool. It always shows, and that's uncool.”
R.J. Palacio, Wonder

Oscar Wilde
“My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect---simply a confession of failures. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don't want to interrupt you. Go on with your story. ”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
Rumi

Khaled Hosseini
“But the game involves only male names. Because, if it's a girl, Laila has already named her”
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
