1 " To Alef, the letter
that begins the alphabets
of both Arabic and Hebrew-
two Semitic languages,
sisters for centuries.

May we find the language
that takes us
to the only home there is -
one another's hearts.

...

Alef knows
That a thread
Of a story
Stitches together
A wound. "

― Ibtisam Barakat , Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood

2 " This is why we said 'ain't'and 'he don't'.We wanted words to fitour cold linoleum,our oil lamps, ourouthouse. We knewbetter but it was wrongto use a languagethat named ghosts,nothing you could touch. "

3 " The language of the heart
Is the only language
That everybody can understand. "

― Sri Chinmoy , Sri Chinmoy's Heart Garden: A Book of Aphorisms for Joy and Inspiration
