Kamila Shamsie
“Don't you know how much I hero-worshiped you when I was a kid? You
were Marie Curie crossed with Emily Bronte crossed with Joan of Arc to
me when I was ten. And when i told you that, you said my cultural
references were the sign of a colonized mind.”
Kamila Shamsie, Broken Verses

Naomi Shihab Nye
“Mystery: Everything felt better before you got there than when you actually got there. When you actually got there, you didn't quite have the energy to be there.”
Naomi Shihab Nye, I'll Ask You Three Times, Are You OK?: Tales of Driving and Being Driven

توفيق الحكيم
“Ahhh! The Sky, Heaven and Hell..Those three words were known in the East..Once you take them out of our earthly world, the whole world will fall apart..all the masterpieces we have made would sound and look platitude.
I know the West now is an object of admiration for its science and discoveries but what does it worth judging by the greatest discoveries that were found in the east?!
Verily the West is exploring the Earth and the East is exploring the Sky.”
Tawfiq al-Hakim

Naomi Shihab Nye
“Later our dreams begin catching fire around the edges, they burn like paper, we wake with our hands full of ash.”
Naomi Shihab Nye

Naomi Shihab Nye
“I am looking for the human who admits his flaws
Who shocks the adversary
By being kinder not stronger
What would that be like?
We don't even know”
Naomi Shihab Nye, Honeybee: Poems and Short Prose
