Differences between people are used to commit injustice—that was an early lesson about racism. - Adania Shibli

As one lives in a place that seems like a punishment for a crime they didn’t commit, it raises harsh questions in relation to simple ideas like justice, or it’s absence, at an early age...maybe the realization of the repeated injustice that one cannot escape in the context of Palestine was the first force to push me early on into literature.

this landscape has an alliance with language; they exist together and actually can haunt you, despite any attempt at their erasure.

I’m open to where life leads me.
