“You don't need to explain why you're protecting your soul from harm. You really don't.”
― Najwa Zebian, Mind Platter

“To you,
it is much easier
to not say a word.
To me,
I choke on my words
if I do not say them.

What truly hurts me
is that you know
that your silence
infects a storm in my mind
yet you choose it
oh so
easily.”
― Najwa Zebian, The Nectar of Pain

“The things that go unsaid are often the things that eat at you—whether because you didn't get to have your say, or because the other person never got to hear you and really wanted to.”
― Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You

“He can guess, but he won't ever know, not really. What it was like, what she was thinking, everything she'd never told him.”
― Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You
