“Palestinians learned the first time in 1948 that leaving to save your life meant you would lose everything and could never go back.”
Susan Abulhawa, Against the Loveless World

“We’re all part of each other. When you see what the Americans have done to us, what they’ve done to Iraq, Libya… And it breaks our hearts, all of us.”
Susan Abulhawa, Against the Loveless World

“To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.”
Susan Abulhawa, Against the Loveless World

“Among the things that ward off worry and anxiety is to concentrate one's attention and concern oneself with the affairs of the present, and to stop being anxious about the future, or grieving over the past. This is why the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him sought refuge in Allah from anxiety and grief' Grief is usually over past events that you can neither bring back nor rectify. Anxiety is usually fear and concern over what will come in the future.

Therefore a person should be the 'son of the moment’, concentrating his energy and attention in the betterment of his existing events, and his present moments. Concentrating attention over the affairs of the moment is the necessary cause of their accomplishment, and it is what gets rid of grief and anxiety from the heart.”
Abdur-Rahman bin Nasir As-Sadi, Useful Ways of Leading a Happy Life

Ghassan Kanafani
“He knew his father through and through, and he knew that the past was, for him, a solid wooden box locked with a thousand keys that had been cast into the depths of the ocean.”
Ghassan Kanafani, Men in the Sun and Other Palestinian Stories
