More quotes by Samira Negrouche

I am trying to find my own way to protest and to add my contribution and my vision to our damaged world.

I consider myself a citizen of the world, but I am also very rooted in my own country.

These languages are natural to me, and there is no conflict in my mind between them.

I prefer to put everything I have in sharing the way I see and understand things.

I write from all these realities and for everyone who finds something in my writing, but I try to never write against it. I don’t have any energy to waste on hate or anger.
