Quote by Mujeeb Burdi

“Yes, you are tired. Yes, you are breaking. But tell me, Alya, which mother stops feeding the child because her hands ache? Which shepherd abandons the flock because the hills are steep? To be tired is not sin. To stop is.”

“She was trying to prove that she could be just like a man to all of them. To Jimmy. To Lydia. Because the world has decided that to be soft was to be weak, even though Joan's experience being soft and flexible was always more durable than being hard and brittle. Admiring you were afraid always take more guts than pretending you weren't. Being willing to make mistakes goes further than never trying. The world has decided that to be fallible was weak. But we are all fallible. The strong ones are the ones who accepted it.”

“June's the type that has to say no in order to say yes... She has to see the negatives first before she can see any of the positives. She has to tell you all the ways that something is going to go wrong and be terrible, and she says them like they're an absolute certainty, but that's a good sign. That means she's really considering it. She has to know exactly why she's scared before she can be brave.”
