"أن تكبُر في منزل عربي، يعني أن تشعر بأنك قد خُلقت لحمل المسؤوليات، لذلك ما أن تغادره تشعر بأنك مدين للكثيرين، دون مقابل، مدين حتى لباب الخروج."

"We will never live together, share the same apartment, body to body, be at the same table, never, not even in the same town...instead of living together, we'll at least be able to lie down happily next to one another in order to die."
-Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

"عندما لا تستطيع أن تقترب،
ولا أن تبتعد،
ولا تستطيع أن تنسى
ولا تستطيع أن تتجاوز
فأهلاً بك في المنتصف المميت ..
الذي لا حول لك فيه ولا قوة. "
- محمود درويش

If it’s going to be a world with no time for sentiment, it’s not a world that I want to live in.

A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity. When for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. It’s as though it had all just come into existence.
I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.
