Quotes by Haitham Alsarraf (?)

“I immediately release a few tears. Without looking away. Without feeling sad. Without making a sound.
I love my new emotions. They are human. True. Ever so masculine. They are a celebration of how life ought to be.
She cannot understand why I would tear.

...
Oh, tears. So many tears. Finally. Deservingly they come out to play in great honesty.”
― Haitham Alsarraf

“The trees hear and breathe us in. The tranquil, angelic snow smiles into, for us. They sense and speak to us, saying, "You have finally made it. You have finally found one another. Deservingly.”
