Quote by Khaled Ibrahim

“...بوسعك دائمًا أن تضحي بما أحببت ،حينما تغدو الملاجئ ساحات حرب ،وحين يغلب ظلها نورك .وحين يصبح التمسك بها موتًا بطيئًا لروحك You can always sacrifice things you loved… when they become battlefields instead of shelters, when their shadows eclipse your lights, when holding on means watching yourself wither.”

Despite all of our society's technological advances, it still just takes one child, one book, and one reader, to create this unique space, to work this everyday magic.”

In the novels I love, the characters used to be like isolated islands, until their fates gradually intertwined; the kind of stories where you whisper, 'You were here?' and a voice answers, 'Yes, always.”
