The Hajar Book of Rage Quotes

“The wound remained. The feeling of being less - because we had no home - hung in the air. The weight of loss settled into our lives like dust in the corners of our fragile houses. We were a word written before we were born - refugee - an identity imposed, printed on the UNWRA ration card, carried like a birthmark.”
― Malak Hijazi, The Hajar Book of Rage

“If you think you can build distance, craft an architecture to shield your eyes from the wreckage, convince yourself the violence is far away - then believe this: the same system will one day reach you. What devours us now will hunger for you later - if not in blood, then in silence, numbness, or the slow decay of all that makes you human.
You are not safe in your forgetting.
And we are not gone.”
― Malak Hijazi, The Hajar Book of Rage
