Additional quotes by Lisa Suhair Majaj

We learned to let our faces hide
our selves, to speak our story in a private
tongue, the past a shadow in our bones.

Now we walk out into the tunnel of days
and a million memories rustle

Who knew the past would follow us so far,
years collapsing like an ancient accordion,
scraps of memory tucked like torn photographs
into the sockets of our eyes?

The distance between one breath and another is like the miles starlight travels to reach my dreams. - Lisa Suhair Majaj
