“Everyone wants Kashmir but no one wants Kashmiris.
Aren't I a miracle? A seed that survived the slaughter & slaughters to come.
I think I believe in freedom I just don't know where it is.
I think I believe in home, I just don't know where to look.”
Fatimah Asghar, If They Come for Us

“Every year I manage to live on this earth I collect more questions than answers.”
Fatimah Asghar, If They Come for Us

“How many poems must you write to convince yourself you have a family? Everyone leaves and you end up the stranger.”
