“REMEMBER YOUR GREATNESS
Before you were born,
And were still too tiny for
The human eye to see,
You won the race for life
From among 250 million competitors.
And yet,
How fast you have forgotten
Your strength,
When your very existence
Is proof of your greatness.
You were born a winner,
A warrior,
One who defied the odds
By surviving the most gruesome
Battle of them all.
And now that you are a giant,
Why do you even doubt victory
Against smaller numbers,
And wider margins?
The only walls that exist,
Are those you have placed in your mind.
And whatever obstacles you conceive,
Exist only because you have forgotten
What you have already
Achieved.
Poetry by Suzy Kassem”

“You hate America, don't you?' 'That would be as silly as loving it,' I said. 'It's impossible for me to get emotional about it, because real estate doesn't interest me. It's no doubt a great flaw in my personality, but I can't think in terms of boundaries. Those imaginary lines are as unreal to me as elves and pixies. I can't believe that they mark the end or the beginning of anything of real concern to a human soul. Virtues and vices, pleasures and pains cross boundaries at will.”

“I didn't understand women at that period. I still don't for that matter. Nor men either. Nor animals either. What I understand best, which is not saying much, are my pains.”

“I have a dream
And wished to be far above the stars
I suddenly feels
And wished to be a person of good deeds
I, with my means
And wished to be a scholar of seven seas
I will never leave
My culture and my perfect themes
I, with my acts
Will make the air a better one to feel
I will shine
And make the world rinse with light
I will not cry
And face the realities of life
I will dive
Into the bottom of sights
I will fly
If I have wings of my choice
I will be there
If anyone needs me in their pains
Allah, You are with me
So, I can dream and make this happen in my life”

“Besides, finding out something like that would have killed my mother."
And then Jessie had known she was going to explode if she didn't get out of there. So she had gotten up, springing out of her chair so fast she had almost knocked the ugly, bulky thing over. She had sprinted from the room, knowing they were all looking at her, not caring. What they thought didn't matter. What mattered was that the sun had gone out, the very sun itself, and if she told, her story would be disbelieved only if God was good. If God was in a bad mood, Jessie would be believed... and even if it didn't kill her mother, it would blow the family apart like a stick of dynamite in a rotten pumpkin.”

“What is this flesh I purchased with my pains, This fallen star my milk sustains,
This love that makes my heart's blood stop Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?

“Life is full of hurts, and it always will be. As long as you live, people are going to offend you, hurt you, and disappoint you.
But you needn't let their actions control your response and out-look on life. You can learn to rise above life's disappointments.”

“Maybe they were right — Friedrich and all the other Engel de Jánosi’s who got out and never told their children or grandchildren the whole truth. They didn’t want to burden or overload us with family history. Too much baggage meant we wouldn’t be able to move forward and into a bright future. Too much bitterness, anger, and sorrow leads us into that dark rabbit hole of despair. They didn’t want to introduce us to their ghosts. But those ghosts find us anyway.”

“She didn't possess Rhys's skill set, but having survived in the Court of Nightmares, she'd learned to read the subtlest of expressions. A mere blink, she'd once told him, might mean the difference between life and death in that miserable court. 'She's settled, then?'
Cassian knew who she meant. 'Taking a nap.'
Mor snorted.
'Don't.' His attention drifting to the glittering Sidra mere feet away. 'Please don't.'
Mor sipped her tea, the portrait of elegant innocence. 'We'd be better off throwing Nesta into the Court of NIghtmares. She'd thrive there.'
Cassian clenched his jaw, both at the insult and the truth. 'That's exactly the sort of existence we're trying to steer her away from.'
Mor assessed him with a bob of her thick lashes. 'It pains you seeing her like this.'
'All of it pains me.' He and Mor had always had this kind of relationship: truth at all costs, however harsh. Ever since that first and only time they'd slept together, when he'd learned too late that she'd hidden from him the terrible repercussions. When he'd seen her broken body and known that even if she'd lied to him, he'd still played a part.
Cassian blew out a breath, shaking away the blood-soaked memory still staining his mind five centuries later. 'It pains me that Nesta has become... this. It pains me that she and Feyre are always at each other's throats. It pains me that Feyre hurts over it, and I know Nesta does, too. It pains me that...' He drummed his fingers on the table, then sipped from his water. 'I really don't want to talk about it.”
