Palestinian Poet Quotes

Mahmoud Darwish

Ibrahim Tuqan

I want to find a language that transforms language itself into steel for the spirit—a language to use against these sparkling insects, these jets.

Mahmoud Darwish

The sword and the pen
Not talking nor quarreling
Are our symbols
Our glory and covenant
And a duty to fulfill it
Shake us
Our honor
Is an honorable cause
A raised flag
O, your beauty
In your eminence
Victorious over your enemies
My homeland
My homeland.
