Quotable Quotes

“Although my road to writing seems like it may have come easily, there were a few bumps in that road. I didn’t get a lot of encouragement from friends, although my family were great supporters. I also had many…what you would call “mind-boggling” moments, when I would doubt myself and what I was writing. It has been said that we, ourselves, are our own worst critics. All the hard work had payed off though, and I created a children’s book that I am proud of, and an unforgettable little girl that will touch the hearts of many.”-Nina Jean Slack”

“Hudson, I keep starting this and stopping again because I can never decide which version of me is supposed to write it. That sounds strange, doesn’t it? Some days it feels as though several different people move through the same hours wearing my face. And none of them agree on what is real or what matters.

Whoever most vividly characterizes a situation usually determines how others see it, talk about it, and make decisions about it.”

“لم آتِ، لكني أتيتُ... ومضيتُ لكن ما مضيتُ قلقاً على شكل النهايةِ لا ابتديتُ ولا انتهيتُ ورأيتُ أني لو أراك أريق بعدك ما رأيتُ.. الليل صبحٌ مضمرٌ والضوء قبل صباه زيتُ وأنا وأنت غمامتان نضيء أجمل ما اكتويتُ فعلام تجمعنا الأماكن طالما الكلمات بيتُ؟! وإلام نسكبُ والقناني تحتسيني ما احتسيتُ إني أطعتُ قصيدتي وندمت أن نفسي عصيتُ”
