Top 4 Najwan Darwish Quotes
#1. "Who Remembers the Armenians?"

and I ride the nightmare bus with them
each night
and my coffee, this morning
I'm drinking it with them
You, murderer -
Who remembers you?

I will rise one day and speak it
I, the Kurd, will rise one day
and speak it
I, the Amazigh, your voice
will rise one day
I, the Arab you know
will rise one day
and speak it:
They've gone now, Saladin
Najwan Darwish

like a nap in the late afternoon
my throat is choked
with words I cannot speak

She's made of bronze
and I
can no longer reach her heart
