‘They live in the safe, shallow parts that rarely push human emotions into the depths where we dwell.[…] Israeli occupation exposes us very young to the very extremes of our own emotions, until we cannot feel except in the extreme […] Our sadness can make the stones weep. And the way we love is no exception, Amal. […] It is the love that dives naked toward infinity’s reach. I think it is where God lives.’

‘ I belong to this land. It possesses me, no matter who conquers it, because its soil is the keeper of my roots; of the bones of my ancestors. […] Becuase I am the natural seed of its passionate tempestuous past. I am a daughter of the land, and Jerusalem reassures me of this inalienable title, far more than the yellowed property deeds […] or UN resolutions and decrees of superpowers could ever do.’
