Quote by Dina Husseini

“Balance the fire of existence and perceive madness. Ignite the flame of purity and create diamonds. Dissect the mark through the trench and open a door. Discover the luminous oppressor of romance and clamp your fist. Buckle the thoughts of familiarity and jump round the hoop. Charge reason for the sake of goodness and destroy wildfires. Simplify the life and it’s game over.”

“Single parenthood: Where you bite every bullet Suck up spells of pouring rain And wake with open wounds Still dripping with the liquid of yesterday's pain The objective being to simply get up, withstand, endure Fight an inch harder, love a little more And draw a smile on your face Tie a ribbon of calm around your racing heart For the one(s) that you so beautifully adore”

“After centuries of silence, someone or something was lying outside on the stone step . . . “Are you deaf?” Death asked arriving abruptly with screams and cries and a fetid smell of rotting matter filling the room. “Why are you here?” the Old Crone asked, knowing the answer before she asked the question. “Go away.” “When someone knocks you’re supposed to open the door!” Death said, coughing as though she had swallowed a lot of water. “What are you doing here?” the Old Crone asked again “and why are you amorphous? Show yourself! I don’t like it when you look like nothing at all.” “Open the door!” Death rasped, appearing as a drowned cat coughing up minnows and river detritus. “Our future depends upon it!”

“You survived,” Death said, appearing again as Cat. “They were vicious. If they’d –” “– Don’t go there.” “You’ve always known really bad people are following you,” Death said, softening what she was going to say. “But did you know I’ve been following you too?” “Why?” Word asked, not getting it. “Simple,” Cat said. “If I keep you alive many others won’t die.”

“She looked at Word. “You asked about X-it. He’s sleeping. There are no intruders in his consciousness. I’ve done a sweep. Several installations, their A-I and Super-Recognizers have all been rendered inoperable, but others will quickly pick up the slack. Some will malfunction. All are on high alert. They know contact has been made, that you are still alive, and a global search has begun. No A-I or human Super-Recognizer can penetrate the room that you were in and in which X-it is now sleeping. But he cannot come out of the room until we are ready to return to the second in time when Death saved you.”

“I thought how artists, writers, and thinkers who are genuinely and strongly connected to their time, place, and peoples always sense disasters before they befall. They are not magicians with crystal balls. They simply use their other well-trained senses, beyond the five senses, to feel the upcoming earthquake, to sense the eruption of the upcoming volcanos, the approaching hurricanes. They signal what they sense in their works, while many people don’t take their warnings seriously.”

“Can I really read my future?" "Easily. When you buy a train ticket, you are not only reading your future, you are forming it. Your ticket states the day of your departure. The number of your carriage. Your seat. That means that in the most plausible future you will appear at the train station, approach the carriage that is mentioned on your ticket..." "Do you like making fun of me?" Sasha herself was shocked at the helplessness in her voice. Kozhenikov stopped smiling. "Forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you. This question is too serious to discuss without irony.”
