“We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

“اكتب عن كل الإشياء التى تراها عيناك
اما التى لاتراها فأكتب عما تحسه نحوها
ولكى تكتب يا فلفل يجب ان ترى بعمق
وتسمع برهافه وتحس بصدق”
― محمد المنسي قنديل, ثلاث حكايات عن الغضب

“Which of us has not felt that the character we are reading in the printed page is more real than the person standing beside us?”
― Cornelia Funke

“You don't write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid's burnt socks lying in the road.”
― Richard Price
