“فقد وقعت هذه الجريمة "بعيدًا هناك" ، في زمن آخر وبلد آخر. وكلما أُلقي اللوم "عليهم" ، كلما كنا "نحن" في أمان، وكلنا قل أضطرارنا إلى الدفاع عن هذا الأمان”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust

“You tried to change didn’t you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do, love
split his head open?
you can’t make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.”
― Warsan Shire

“Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.”
― Warsan Shire

“Embrace iteration as the road to improvement, but don't let that lull you into rolling out poorly-thought-out crap.”
― Kate O'Neill, Lessons from Los Gatos: How Working at a Startup Called Netflix Made Me a Better Entrepreneur
