“Hurt people hurt people. That’s how pain patterns gets passed on, generation after generation after generation. Break the chain today. Meet anger with sympathy, contempt with compassion, cruelty with kindness. Greet grimaces with smiles. Forgive and forget about finding fault. Love is the weapon of the future.”

— Yehuda Berg 

“I exist in two places, here, and where you are.”

— Margaret Atwood 

“I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.” - The Picture of Dorian Gray, O. Wilde

“Scar tissue has no character. It’s not like skin. It doesn’t show age or illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It’s like a slip cover. It shields and disguises what’s beneath. That’s why we grow it; we have something to hide.”

— Susanna Kaysen 

إنني أسألُ مليون سؤال

وبعينيك أرى صمتَ الحجر

I ask a million questions

But see in your eyes only the silence of stones.

- Mahmoud Darwish
