“Little islands are all large prisons; one cannot look at the sea without wishing for the wings of a swallow.”
― Sir Richard Francis Burton

“I learned that the world didn't see the inside of you, that it didn't care a whit about the hopes and dreams, and sorrows, that lay masked by skin and bone. It was as simple, as absurd, and as cruel as that.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

“But it is important to know this, to know your roots. To know where you started as a person. If not, your own life seems unreal to you. Like a puzzle. Vous comprenez? Like you have missed the beginning of a story and now you are in the middle of it, trying to understand.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

“كبلتني بالصمت
حتى ماتت الكلمات حزناً
في فمي..

قيدتني
حتى ظننت بأن هذا القيد
يسكن معصمي..

وقتلتني
حتى ظننتُ بأن قتل النفس
في الأديان غير محرم ..”
― فاروق جويدة, كانت لنا أوطان
