“If you observe the pace of my breaths, you won't need to listen to my words.”
Nema Al-Araby“Mostly, we talk to impress. And sometimes we shut up to impress, too.”
Nema Al-Araby“You make me love books and the words inside them, because they talk about you. I know they do, they tell me that I love you, not as cliché as I write it, but in the warmest, deepest, calmest words I could ever read. I love you, like the books say it. And I'll find a better way to say it one day.”
Nema Al-Araby“At some point in reading, we realize we have to read not just the books that we'd enjoy, but the books that move us, touch us, those that break us and hurt us, those which remind us that we will always be the ignorant of this life. We have to read the books that make us so little, make us a speck of dust or a grain of sand in a galaxy, until we feed our minds with all the knowledge we need, which is infinite in itself.”
Nema Al-Araby“I'd rather be poor to my bones than be rich with your money, that is like a trigger, ready to be pulled in my face.”
Nema Al-Araby“You have to have a plot too, you know? Because without it, your life is less of a story and more of an empty paper.”
Nema Al-Araby“Don't let yourself be amazed by the imagination of a writer and his words, writers are almost all the time in a love-hate relationship with words.”
Nema Al-Araby“Is it crazy to say that I sometimes don't understand what I write but I write it anyway, because maybe someone, somewhere, somehow, would feel what I didn't?”
Nema Al-Araby“If you observe the pace of my breaths, you won't need to listen to my words.”
