“I know life well enough to know you can’t count on things staying around or standing still, no matter how much you want them to. You can’t stop people from dying. You can’t stop them from going away. You can’t stop yourself from going away either. I know myself well enough to know that no one else can keep you awake or keep you from sleeping.”

― Sophia Dembling, The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World

“فإنني أحمل ذاكرتي على كفي.تلك اللعنة ظلت ترافقني.. لعلني لم أرزق نعمة النسيان مثل كل البشر.”
