Latife Tekin
“Now she tried to imagine what she might be if she were living somewhere else. 'What if I were a sparkle perched right on top of the stars, or a bird flitting along from rooftop to rooftop and branch to branch?' she pondered, letting her thoughts spin out of control and become more and more strange. One day, as she sat alone in a corner looking at Atiye, she asked herself, 'Now who is this woman?' Then, turning her eyes on her elder brother and Zekiye, she thought, 'And who're they?' Growing frightened, Dirmit found that the more she looked the less she knew any of these people.”
Latife Tekin, Sevgili Arsız Ölüm

André Aciman
“Aren't those the absolute worst scenarios: the things that might have happened but never did and might still happen though we've given up hoping they could.”
André Aciman, Find Me

“In parallel, he devised a system of underpasses and circuitous routes for Palestinian villagers who were barred from accessing the settler highways cutting through their lands. These were given the benevolent-sounding name of "fabric of life" roads. In private, Israeli officials called the something more honest. Speaking to the US ambassador in Tel Aviv, who summarised the conversation in a diplomatic cable, Israel's deputy defense minister referred to them as "apartheid roads.”
Nathan Thrall, A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy

José Saramago
“As I've learned in this job, not only are the people in government never put off by what we judge to be absurd, they make use of absurdities to dull consciences and to destroy reason.”
José Saramago, Seeing

Refaat Alareer
“If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up
above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale”
Refaat Alareer
