Zaynab: I am a princess, a fighter, a tactician, I am impervious to your words and I have lead revolutions against tyrants.

Aqisa, a fighter woman from the desert who dresses in men’s clothes and lacks any decorum: Hi

Ali: When I'm walking down the street, I don't think anyone goes, "Hey, look at that man." They're like, "wow! That tall child looks terrible!"

Zaynab: Some people give off a vibe, right away, of "Don't fuck with me".

Jamshid: My vibe is more like, "You could pour hot soup in my lap and I'd probably apologize to you."

Muntadhir: I'm sorry, it's just that I'm mean and loud. It will probably happen again.

Nahri: 'Cause you know how you lie to your parents?

Dara: I also don't want me to be doing what I'm doing.

[about] Ghassan: So my dad pulls up to the drive thru window and orders a single black coffee. The one thing that no child can enjoy.

Kaveh: You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.

Manizheh: And then I said, "No". You know, like a liar.

Lubayd: You know when you're having one of those days where you're like, this might as well happen? Adult life is already so goddamn weird.

Aqisa: Hi, I'm very gay and I'd like a few dollars.

Hatset: You're never too young to learn our national no-snitching policy.

Nisreen: I try to stay optimistic, but I admit, things are getting pretty sticky.
