With my human rights advocacy, that's always been through my writing. I've always tried to write articles and contribute to journals and a lot of online journals - about human rights, especially Palestinian human rights. I find the time to do things to do things I'm passionate about, because I find enjoyment in them. I just have to juggle. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah

Randa quotes by Kelly Braffet
Grief, especially when it's still raw, is like having a thirst that no amount of water quenches. It can't be consoled; it can't be alleviated. It's unrelenting and constant. I wish I could tell her that it will get easier with time. But if I told her that I'd also have to tell her that easier doesn't mean it ever goes away. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah

Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Sometimes it's easy to lose faith in people. And sometimes one act of kindness is all it takes to give you hope again. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
That's why when Peter started talking to me in homeroom this morning, i soaked up his attention like a doughnut dipped in coffee. The fact that his comments have left me soggy and wilted doesn't matter. That's the price you pay when you withdraw to the safety of anonymity ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Too many people look at it as though it (the hijab) has bizarre powers sewn into its microfibers. Powers that transform Muslim girls into UCOs (Unidentified Covered Objects), which turn Muslim girls from an 'us' to a 'them. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Well aren't you a prick." If a prick turns down a girl that's been pounded more times than a basketball court, then by all means, call me a prick. I ~ Randa Lynn
Randa quotes by Randa Lynn
When you consciously decide to be in a good mood every morning, you create an atmosphere of joy and peace. Practice mood control daily... it will then become a habit. Don't put the control of your emotions in the hands of others. ~ Randa Manning-Johnson
Randa quotes by Randa Manning-Johnson
I do know that detachment is important. A surgeon can't be weeping into the open wound. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
I've always loved writing, and the impulse for me is storytelling. I don't sit down and think: 'What political message can I sell?' I love the creativity of it. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
There are stories I'd like to tell, I'd like to see, and they're not getting made. These stories are beyond the experience of the people in power. They don't understand it, so they're frightened of it. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
Normal. She wasn't normal. A girl Graced with killing, a royal thug? A girl who didn't want the husbands Randa pushed on her, perfectly handsome and thoughtful men, a girl who panicked at the thought of a baby at her breast, or clinging to her ankles. ~ Kristin Cashore
Randa quotes by Kristin Cashore
It was hard to follow my dreams ... I didn't let anything stop me. ~ Randa Markos
Randa quotes by Randa Markos
The scariest thing about people like Terrence and my parents is not that they can be cruel. It's that they can be kind too. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
I'm starting to realize that being born into this social world is a little like being born into clean air. You take it in as soon as you breathe, and pretty soon you don't even realize that while you can walk around with clear lungs, other people are wearing oxygen masks just to survive. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
In a multicultural, diverse society there are countless ways in which people negotiate the everyday lived experience and reality of diversity. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
You? Nervous? Man, you've got more balls than any girl I've ever known!'
'You've known some weird girls, then, I say, raising an eyebrow at him. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
It is time Australian Muslims stop being treated as negotiable citizens in their own country. It is time people stop 'tolerating' us, presuming some right to decide if we have a place in our own home. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
I wear my politics like hand-me down clothes: some bits feel like they don't fit me properly, but I expect I'll grow into them, trusting that because they're from my parents they've come from a good source. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Because I had a lot of emotional upheaval in my life, I'm attracted to stories about characters whose lives are full of wounds and secrets. I'm not interested in who's going to ask me to the prom. I never went to a prom. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
A pang of love for my country suddenly strikes through me. That lazy way the trees and bushes dot the land. The effortless beauty of the mountains and the secrets hidden within them. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
It seems Palestinians can't win. The language of peace negotiations has always been predicated on a representation that Palestinians are violent and that is why Israel behaves as it does. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Your perception is riveting, Amal," he says in a bored and sarcastic tone, dropping the note down on my desk. "It's comforting to know that there are people in my class who have the maturity and intelligence to make derogatory comments about other people's external appearances."
Now what am I supposed to say to that?
"What do you have to say for yourself?"
Friggin' mind reader. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
When it comes to the hijab - why to wear it, whether to wear it, how to wear it - there is theology and then there is practice, and there is huge diversity in both. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Mr. Taylor has this habit of emphasizing his point by using three adjectives or verbs in a row. 'Class, you must know,' Simon begins [imitating] in a droning voice, flinging her arms around at every syllable, 'that should you fail to understand, to comprehend, to FEEL the power of the Constitution's words you will lose, forfeit, SURRENDER your ability to master the meaning of this most important document. You must read with an open mind in order to nurture, care for, and FOSTER your citizenship. Do I make myself clear, succinct, and COMPREHENSIBLE? ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
I couldn't stop bawling, watching the towers come down. it was a terrible thing to happen. And a terrible thing to realize that I don't sit though the nigh crying when such horrors happen all the time. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
At [my old school], when teachers stood up to address us in assemblies, it was to urge us to study hard, stay focused, remain resilient, set goals, seek support. If there was a "leader," she was the exception, not the norm.
Listening to [the adults here], I wonder if things would be different if we spent thirteen years being told that we were born to lead, and that the only thing that would ever hold us back would be a limited imagination. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
To adapt a play into a movie, you have to change it. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
True friends are those who love you not in spite of your faults and imperfections, but because of them. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
I would love to do a film with a lot of humor in it: a comedy with pain instead of a painful film with some comedy. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
A reminder that for some people in this world, freedom and ordinary aren't basic rights. They're luxuries you should never take for granted. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Follow your dreams, don't let anybody hold you back. ~ Randa Markos
Randa quotes by Randa Markos
If you and I had a relationship, and I like to dance and you don't, will that affect our relationship? If I push you and push you, maybe you'll learn to dance, but more likely, that will move you away from me. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
Once upon a time, a fisherman went out to sea. He caught many fish and threw them all into a large bucket on his boat. The fish were not yet dead, so the man decided to ease their suffering by killing them swiftly. While he worked, the cold air made his eyes water. One of the wounded fish saw this and said to the other: "What a kind heart this fisherman has- see how he cries for us." The other fish replied: "Ignore his tears and watch what he is doing with his hands. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Uncle," she said. "Let me explain what will happen the instant one of your men makes a move toward me. Let's say, for instance, one of your archers lets an arrow fly. You've not come to many of my practices, Uncle. You haven't seen me dodge arrows; but your archers have. If one or your archers releases an arrow, I'll drop to the floor. The arrow will doubtless hit one of your guards. The sword and the dagger of that guard will be in my hands before anyone in the room has time to realize what's happened. A fight will break out with the guards; but only seven or eight of them can surround me at once, Uncle, and seven or eight is nothing to me. As I kill the guards I'll take their daggers and begin throwing them into the hearts of your archers, who of course will have no sighting on me once the brawl with the guards has broken out. I'll get out of the room alive, Uncle, but most of the rest of you will be dead. Of course, this is only what will happen if I wait for one of your men to make a move. I could move first. I could attack a guard, steal his dagger, and hurl it into your chest this instant. ~ Kristin Cashore
Randa quotes by Kristin Cashore
My family are observant Muslims, but I've come to the faith through an intellectual conviction, and that's something that they've taught me. It's never been forced upon me. They've given me a very strong identity as an Australian Muslim. ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
See Tia, I wash my feet 5 times a day. So that means that at any given moment in the day, my feet are cleaner than your face. ~ Randa Abdel Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel Fattah
Of course, it was impossible, in this company, not to think about balances of power. Raffin and Bann glanced at each other now and then, sharing silent agreement, teasing each other, or just resting their eyes on each other, as if each man was a comfortable resting place for the other. Prince Raffin, heir to the Middluns throne; Bann, who had no title, no fortune. How she longed to ask them questions that were too nosy for asking, even by her standards. How did they balance money matters? How did they make decisions? How did Bann cope with the expectation that Raffin marry and produce heirs? If Randa knew the truth about his son, would Bann be in danger? Did Bann ever resent Raffin's wealth and importance? What was the balance of power in their bed? ~ Kristin Cashore
Randa quotes by Kristin Cashore
As a director, you're looking for ways to tell the story with the whole image and not primarily dialogue. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
It's very scary to turn things down, but a project has to really mean something to me. I'm not interested in making a lot of money. ~ Randa Haines
Randa quotes by Randa Haines
Very well, let's see. I'm very sympathetic about your having left Raffin. I think you're brave to have defied Randa as you did with that Ellis fellow; I don't know if I could've gone through with it. I think you have more energy than anyone I've ever encountered, though I wonder if you aren't a bit hard on your horse. I find myself wondering why you haven't wanted to marry Giddon, and if it's because you've intended to marry Raffin, and if so, whether you're even more unhappy to have left him than I realized. I'm very pleased you've come with me. I'd like to see you defend yourself for real, fight someone to the death, for it would be a thrilling sight. I think my mother would take to you. My brothers, of course, would worship you. I think you're the most quarrelsome person I've ever met. And I really do worry about your horse. ~ Kristin Cashore
Randa quotes by Kristin Cashore
What's the good of being true to your religion on the outside, if you don't change what's on the inside,were it really counts ? ~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa quotes by Randa Abdel-Fattah
She couldn't steal herself back from Randa only to give herself away again - belong to another person, be answerable to another person, build her very being around another person. ~ Kristin Cashore
