Quotes by Amra Sabic-El-Rayess  (?)

“Maybe bad people never believe they are bad,' I venture. 'While good people are always questioning their goodness. Maybe that's what keeps them good—the constant questioning.”
Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, The Cat I Never Named : A True Story of Love, War, and Survival

“We like to see our enemies as fairy-tale villains, thoroughly wicked. But Tata sees nuances. He sees people, not causes or countries.

It's the right way of looking at the world, I know. But unpopular.”
Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, The Cat I Never Named : A True Story of Love, War, and Survival

“The war didn’t spring on me all at once.
Instead, like a cat, it stalked me quietly.
There might have been a rustle of leaves, a glint of golden eye.
But like a mouse, I didn’t believe it was there until it pounced.”
