Additional quotes by Lisa Suhair Majaj

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?

soon syllables will fall from her lips
the first rain

Today his words surround me
with the quiet intensity of growing things,
roots planted a long time ago
lacing the distances of my heart.

No matter how far you've come, remember: the starting line is always closer than you think. - Lisa Suhair Majaj
