I could love you violently, if I let myself.

Sylvia Plath, quoting an acquaintance in ‘The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath’

[rainystrings]

“I have always found it difficult not to be moved by Jerusalem, even when I hated it—and God knows I have hated it for the sheer human cost of it. But the sight of it, from afar or inside the labyrinth of its walls, softens me. Every inch of it holds the confidence of ancient civilizations, their deaths and their birthmarks pressed deep into the city’s viscera and onto the rubble of its edges... It sparks an inherent sense of familiarity in me—that doubtless, irrefutable Palestinian certainty that I belong to this land. It possesses me, no matter who conquers it, because its soil is the keeper of my roots, of the bones of my ancestors.”

- Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa (2010)

the raw grief in each word of mornings in jenin by susan abulhawa is astonishing. this book should be a mandatory read

Some quotes from Mornings In Jenin that I found to be so profound.

(If you can't see them clearly, let me know and I'll write them into the caption!!)
