“I remembered my father coaching me before I took my GCE exam and how he said, as I stalled in solving a long equation, 'Yes, you're getting there. Don't doubt yourself. Don't stop.' Is that why I believe now in always trying? It is, of course, too easy to draw simple causative lines. It was the wholeness of him that formed me, but it was also these incidents, slice by slice.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

“كل من صادف عينيك هلك”
― أحلام مستغانمي, عليك اللهفة

“العشّاق الذين أضاعوا حقائب الصبر بالطائرات التي لا توقيت لإقلاعها”
― أحلام مستغانمي, عليك اللهفة

“How is it that the world keeps going, breathing in and out unchanged, while in my soul there is a permanent scattering?”
