“حارٌّ كجمرة
بسيط كالماء
واضح كطلقة مسدَّس
و أريد أن أحيا
ألا يكفي هذا
أيَّتُها الأحجار التي لا تحبُّ الموسيقى؟”
― رياض الصالح الحسين, بسيط كالماء واضح كطلقة مسدس

“We were halfway through our first joint when we heard Tom's footsteps coming down the stairs.
'Shhhh... Shhhh!'
The footsteps approached my door.
Silence.
And then a piece of A4 paper appeared under my door.
Neither of us said a word as I crept over and picked it up. It was a drawing of two stick men, each with a massive joint in their hand. And written underneath were the words 'Rule Breakers'.”
― Dougie Poynter, McFly: Unsaid Things... Our Story

“People who say “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” don’t understand how words can be stones, hard and sharp-edged and dangerous and capable of doing so much more harm than anything physical.”
― Seanan McGuire, Middlegame
