Mom always taught me not to use the word hate. As if it were profanity. ↗

ولو إستطعت أن أعود بعجلة الزمان إلى الوراء ، لما إخترتك لي عاشقاً ! ولأبقيتك عابراً غريباً يزور مدائني دون أن يحدث بداخلي أي ضجيج ! ↗

- أخبرتك بأن كبريائي قاس جداً ، أخبرتك بأن شموخي لعين جداً ! فلا ترمقني بذهول كلما لمحتني أبتسم لك وخنجر خذلانك مصلوب على خاصرتي ↗

No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick. ↗

My parents would frisk me before family events. Before weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, and what have you. Because if they didn't, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way I'd be found in a corner. That was who I was...that was what I did. I was the kid with the book. ↗

All the old houses that I knew when I was a child were full of books, bought generation after generation by members of the family. Everyone was literate as a matter of course. Nobody told you to read this or not to read that. It was there to read, and we read. ↗

She read all sorts of things: travels, and sermons, and old magazines. Nothing was so dull that she couldn't get through with it. Anything really interesting absorbed her so that she never knew what was going on about her. The little girls to whose houses she went visiting had found this out, and always hid away their story-books when she was expected to tea. If they didn't do this, she was sure to pick one up and plunge in, and then it was no use to call her, or tug at her dress, for she neither saw nor heard anything more, till it was time to go home. ↗
