“The opposite sensitive is not brave. It's not brave to refuse to pay attention, to refuse to notice, to refuse to feel and know and imagine. The opposite of sensitive is insensitive, and that's no badge of honor.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed

“In another life Nora was a sea of emotion. She felt everything deeply and directly. Every joy and every sorrow. A single moment could contain both intense pleasure and intense pain, as if both were dependent on each other, like a pendulum in motion. A simple walk outside and she could feel a heavy sadness simply because the sun had slipped behind a cloud. Yet, conversely, meeting a dog who was clearly grateful for her attention caused her to feel so exultant that she felt she could melt into the pavement with sheer bliss. In that life she had a book of Emily Dickinson poems beside her bed and she had a playlist called ‘Extreme States of Euphoria’ and another one called ‘The Glue to Fix Me When I Am Broken’.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“حبيبتي الممتلئة بالاعياد
شهية كرغيف خبز
طيبة كبرتقالة
أما أنا
فلا أملك الا هذه الكلمات
وبعض الذكريات التعيسة
المحفورة بضراوة على ميناء جسدي”
― رياض الصالح الحسين, خراب الدورة الدمويَّة

“يدك الطرية الدافئة
كقلبي
كيف اتركها تضيع كطائر
في غابة مليئة بالصيادين”
― رياض الصالح الحسين
