Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Refugees didn’t just escape a place. They had to escape a thousand memories until they’d put enough time and distance between them and their misery to wake to a better day.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Our months were named after constellations, and soon it would be the month of Saur, or Taurus. I drew lines between stars and saw the bull’s swordlike horns piercing the sky. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled to picture the giant beast leaping down from the heavens and galloping on this land.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “The hell with naseeb. Naseeb is what people blame for every thing they can’t fix.”

Nadia Hashimi Quote: “I crossed scorched earth for the second time in my life, unsure if it would be my spirit or my knees to buckle first. Unsure which fire would shape my destiny and which would burn me. Unsure if what I was running toward was any better than what I was running from.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “The person who doesn’t appreciate the apple, doesn’t appreciate the orchard.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Have you forgotten the words of Rumi? ‘You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.’ I had never truly given myself over to those words until this moment. The thought of the ocean inside me, with its infinite drops ran through me like a charge. My existence was integral to the universe.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “When things are rough, people look for an escape. A way out. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right way.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Afghanistan’s secret weapon has always been her women. But, Boba, I’m just a girl. What a thing to say! As if a girl is made of lesser materials. Have you forgotten the words of Rumi? You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “You know, we’re so damned afraid that talking about the ones we’ve lost will hurt us as much as losing them did. So we just stop talking about them. But that’s when we truly lose them.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “He believes that people have destroyed religion and religion has destroyed people. He says he believes in God, but he doesn’t believe in people.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Poor girl. She ran out from under a leaking roof and sat in the rain.”

Nadia Hashimi Quote: “What is gone is gone and will not come back. When the earth swallows, it swallows forever and we are left to stumble along feeling the absences. These are our burdens.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Let people serve you information, but never let them serve you your opinion.”

Nadia Hashimi Quote: “We are too shortsighted to rejoice in the moments that deserve it.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “On education – Every bit does some good. I’m lucky I know how to read. It’s a candle in a dark room. What I don’t know, I can find out for myself. It’s easier to fool someone who can’t figure things out on his own.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Some things are clearer from a distance.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “I knew nothing of that kind of love. I knew nothing about pearls and shells either except that one had to free itself from the other. We were both calmer than we should have been, Benafsha because she had lived her love, and me because I had never known it.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “It’s never easy to leave one’s home, especially when there are only closed doors ahead of you.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “As children inch their way into adolescence, the parent changes. He is an authority, a source of answers, and a chastising voice. Depending on the day, he may be resented, emulated, questioned, or defied. Only as an adult can a child imagine his parent as a whole person, as a husband, a brother, or a son. Only then can a child see how his parent fits into the world beyond four walls.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Grief is nothing but the far brink of love. Love is the sun; grief is the shadow it casts. Love is an opera; grief is its echo. You cannot have one without the other. But if you follow that grief, you will find your way back to love.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Forty days. What was so magical about forty? I wondered. Was I to feel differently today than I did yesterday? Was I to forget what happened just six weeks ago? We Afghans marked both life and death with a forty-day period, as if we needed that much time to confirm either had truly happened. We had celebrated Jahangir’s birth forty days after he’d left my womb, unsure if this child was here with us to stay. And now his death. Forty days of praying, alone, with others and everything in between.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Sometimes the storm in a person’s mind raged too strongly.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “This life is difficult. We lose fathers, brothers, mothers, songbirds and pieces of ourselves. Whips strike the innocent, honors go to the guilty, and there is too much loneliness. I would be a fool to pray for my children to escape all of that. Ask for too much and it might actually turn out worse. But I can pray for small things, like fertile fields, a mother’s love, a child’s smile – a life that’s less bitter than sweet.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “The elderly become invisible sooner than we would hope.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “An Afghan carpet, perhaps by design, conceals blood just as well as it conceals spilled tea.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “My best friend was the kind of daughter mothers wanted, one who would wear prim dresses and pearls. She could sit for hours without making a peep and didn’t go home with muddy knees, as I did.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Her father read a prayer over the mound of dirt and they looked at each other, quietly wondering which of them would join the others first.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “We were pressed against each other, a husband and wife bound together not by marriage, but by the harmony of our hearts. Death could not undo us, I’d learned. My hamsar was with me still. He would watch over us, my beloved husband, as we made our way into tomorrow.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Can a mother commit a greater sin than ignoring her intuitions?”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “In that way, Shekiba was Afghanistan. Beginning in her childhood, tragedy and malice chipped away at her until she was just a fragment of the person she should have been.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Some truths need to be said out loud before they can be believed.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “But sometimes you have to act out of line, I suppose. Sometimes you have to take a chance if you want something badly enough.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “A conversation began to take shape between us. A conversation that happened in unspoken words, in false words, in knowing glances.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “That is the problem with gifts, Madar-jan. They are always given away.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “There are truths and lies and there are things in between, murky waters where light gets bent and broken.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “That’s what being a mother is, isn’t it? Waiting for a rounded belly to tighten in readiness; listening for the sound of hunger in the moonlit hours; hearing an eager voice call even in the camouflage of traffic, loud music, and whirring machines. It’s looking at every door, every phone, and every approaching silhouette and feeling that slight lift, that tickle of opportunity to be again – mother.”
Nadia Hashimi Quote: “Grudges don’t die – people do.”
