99 Quotes by Syrian authors

Syrian Flag

Syrian sayings speak in the voice of Damascus courtyards and Aleppo workshops: spare, melodic, and sly. They braid hospitality with honor, bargaining wit with patience, bread-and-salt loyalty with a fatalism warmed by coffee. Love is frank, loss is measured, and humor arrives sideways like a breeze through latticework. From suq cries to Sufi hush, from pomegranate stains to desert dust, the language prizes craft, memory, and proportion. Expect proverbs that travel light, verses that linger long, and a mosaic of tenderness, bite, and hard-earned elegance.
