"Salama, love of my life. My sky, my sun, my moon, and my stars..."

"Know that even in death, you're my life."

"I feel like I've known you all my life, Salama."

"If things weren't like they were, we'd be long married. I would take you all over Syria on a road trip... People would look at us and they'd think how they've never seen two people more in love."

"I did my part. I will continue to fight for what I'm owed and whatever happens, I'm okay with that."

WHAT.... Chapter 29 3

“There are no innocents in the eyes of evil.”

“No matter what happens, you remember that this world is more than the agony it contains.”

“I may escape from Syria. My feet could touch European shores, the waves of the sea lapping against my shivering legs and the salt air coating my lips. I would be safer. But I won’t have survived.”

“And they’re all children.”
4 words have so much weight.

“hearing stories about the ocean’s rage is different from being caught in the middle of the angry waves.

7 more books to go!!! can she do it???? (me)

7 books in 58 days... 😅

"a sliver of a chance at survival is better than living at the mercy of genocide."

"We never know if we'll see each other again. Every moment is a goodbye."

“Why does even the best of men always keep something back, something unspoken from the other? Why not come straight out with what’s in his mind, if it’s something worth saying? As it is, everybody looks grimmer than he really is, as if everyone was afraid of bruising their own feelings if they divulge them too soon…”

“So it is that when we are unhappy we sense more acutely the unhappiness of others.”

“Today has been dreary and rain-sodden, without a ray of hope, like my approaching old age. Such strange ideas oppress me, such dark sensations, such vague questions seething in my brain—and somehow I have neither strength nor desire to resolve them. It’s beyond me to make sense of it all!”

“As I sit next to you and talk with you, I feel positively terrified of the future, because in that future loneliness lurks once more, again that musty, pointless existence; and what will there be for me to dream about, when close to you I have already been so happy in the real world.”

“at this moment, a thousand valves have opened within my brain, and I must put forth a river of words or I shall suffocate.”

“because I have known you for ever so long, Nastenka, I have been searching for someone for ever so long and this is a sign that it was you I was seeking and it was fated that we should meet”

“He smiled at me, and I found myself smiling back. I didn’t need to pretend, didn’t need to be anything but what I was right then, being twirled about the meadow, the will-o’-the-wisps dancing around us like dozens of moons.”
