Quote by Laini Taylor

“So they layered cynicism atop their longing, and it was something like laying laughter over the darkness - self-preservation of an uglier stripe. And thus did they harden themselves, by choosing to meet hate with hate.”

“Never think that hatred and prejudice are the exclusive problems of any particular group in society or the world. When we become inured to hate's virulence, it has time to thrive, spread and reach everyone eventually. So take no comfort from the fact that others are suffering today and not you. The mirror of empathy makes us witnesses our own future torment.”

“Hate is a power that hollows out reality of all that God intended. It empties the world of love, redemption, reconciliation, and opens the abyss of nothingness. It builds an irrefutable case against its object. It is a friend to those that exalt themselves above others. It is an uncreative force that deceives all participants. It is a pollutant that corrupts good intentions. Hate is an exclusionary act that dehumanizes its object. Hate is a parasite on the marrow of humanity.”

“ان حياتي لن تكون ابدا في المغرب. مع انني احب وطني بعمق ... احب ارضه و تاريخه...احب لغته و تقاليده. احب شعبه المستضعف المقهور...لكنه متعال و شامخ على مر العصور ليس بيني و بينه حواجز و سدود ... بيني و بينه قصة حب خالدة لا ينطفئ اوارها... انني ابنته الباره ابدا... من صلبه ولدت انا..ومن ترابه...ما اسعدني عندما يقولون لي بانني شعبية... انه وسام فخر اعتز به...و اعذب مديح سمعته في حياتي. و انا ملقاة في غياهب السجن ساعدتني على الصمود والبقاء تلك الكراهية التي كانت تملأ قلبي لجلادي ... والتي خلت انذاك انها تشمل كذالك بلادي. لكنهم ما ان اطلقوا سراحي حتى انطفأت نيرانها و خمدت اليوم حين تحاول الكراهية ان تذر بقرنها... وتطفو الى السطح من جديد...اعيدها بكل جوارحي الى القعر...لا اريدها ان تنغص علي عيشي وان تدمر ما تبقى من حياتي. ان الكراهية تنهش الروح و تضعضع الجسد ... انها لا تجدي نفعا ولن تعيد الي الذي مضى....”
