Roxane Gay
“I am nowhere near as brave as people believe me to be. As a writer, armed with words, I can do anything, but when I have to take my body out into the world, courage fails me.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

“This is my problem. I want other people to tell me how they feel. But I'm not so sure I want to return the favor.”

“I bet you could sometimes find all the mysteries of the universe in someone's hand.”

Susan Abulhawa
“Thank you,’ I answered, unsure of the proper American response to her gracious enthusiasm. In the Arab world, gratitude is a language unto itself. “May Allah bless the hands that give me this gift”; “Beauty is in the eyes that find me pretty”; “May Allah never deny your prayer”; and so on, an infinite string of prayerful appreciation. Coming from such a culture, I have always found a mere “thank you” an insufficient expression that makes my voice sound miserly and ungrateful.” (169).”
Susan Abulhawa, Mornings in Jenin
