Book cover for Salt Houses
This was the aversion Riham felt toward those shrewd, bearded men on television—they spoke of the greatness of Allah, of servitude and humility, but they were cloaked in fury, preoccupied with it. They were simply angry.

“... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Mahmoud Darwish
“سَيَمْضي زمانٌ طويلٌ ليصبح حاضرنا ماضيًا مثْلنا
سَنمْضي إلى حتْفنا، أوّلاً، سنُدافع عن شَجرٍ نَرْتَديه
وَعَنْ جَرَس اللّيل، عن قمرٍ، فوق أكواخنا نشْتهيه
وعن طيش غزلاننا سندافع، عن طين فخّارِنا سَندُافعُ
وعن ريشنا في جناح الأغاني الأخيرة. عمّا قَليل
تُقيمون عالمكُمْ فَوْق عالمنا: مِنْ مقابرنا تَفْتَحون الطّريق
إلى الْقمر الاصطناعيّ. هذا زمان الصّناعات. هذا
زمانُ المعادن، من قطعةِ الفحْم تبزغُ شمْبانيا الأقْوياءْ
هُنالك موْتى ومستوطناتٌ، وموْتى وبولدوزراتٌ، وموْتى
ومستشْفياتٌ، وموتى وشاشاتُ رادار ترْصُدُ مَوْتى
يموتون أكثر من مرّةٍ فى الحياة، وَتَرصُدُ موتى
يعيشون بَعْد الممات، وموْتى يُربّونَ وحْش الحضارات مَوْتًا،
وموتى يموتون كيْ يحملوا الأرض فوق الرّفات
إلى أيْن، يا سيّد البيض، تأخُذُ شعْبي،... وشعْبَك
إلى أيّ هاويةٍ يأخذ الأرض هذا الرّوبوتُ المدجّج بالطّائرات
وحَامِله الطّائرات، إلى أيّ هاويةٍ رحبةٍ تصعدون
لكم ما تشاؤون: رُوما الجديدة، إسْبارطةُ التكنولوجيا
وأيديولوجيا الجنون”
محمود درويش, أحد عشر كوكبا

George R.R. Martin
“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

John Green
“I guess I had been looking toward the Encouragement above the TV, a drawing of an angel with the caption Without Pain, How Could We Know Joy? (This is an old argument in the field of Thinking About Suffering, and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries, but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not in any way affect the taste of chocolate.)”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

George R.R. Martin
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
