All My Rage
Sabaa Tahir
Top 10 Best Quotes
“I’ll survive this. I’ll live. But there’s a hole in me, never to be filled. Maybe that’s why people die of old age. Maybe we could live forever if we didn’t love so completely. But we do. And by the time old age comes, we’re filled with holes, so many that it’s too hard to breathe. So many that our insides aren’t even ours anymore. We’re just one big empty space, waiting to be filled by the darkness. Waiting to be free.”
“I wonder what it’s like to be with someone who can love you through your rage.”
“Rage can fuel you. But grief gnaws at you slow, a termite nibbling at your soul until you're a whisper of what you used to be.”
“Great passions grow into monsters in the dark of the mind; but if you share them with loving friends they remain human, they can be endured.”
“If we are lost, God is like water, finding the unknowable path when we cannot”
“She was not of my body or my blood, this child. But she was of my soul.”
“Anger doesn't really cover what I feel, though. You get angry because someone almost runs you over in the bike lane. Angry because someone cuts in line at Walmart. What's the word for when someone drinks so much, they are ruining your best friend's life? Or the word for a man so vengeful about his own past that he wants to destroy your future? What's the word for a woman who was sick for months, but refused to go to the doctor until it was too late? The word for a girl at school whose personal mission is to mess with your head? Anger 's not the right word. Rage. That's what this feeling is, eating me up.”
“People see what they want to. I'm sick of hoping that they'll see me.”
“But mostly it taught me that music can be more of a home than four walls and a roof.”
“A mother carries her child's innocence in her memory. No matter who they become. We carry our hopes and dreams for them and such things are woven into our souls as God is woven into the fibers of this earth.”
