“A woman must continually watch herself. She is almost continually accompanied by her own image of herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman. She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another....

One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object -- and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.”
― John Berger, Ways of Seeing

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

“At this rate, I'd be lucky if I wrote a page a day.

Then I knew what the problem was.

I needed experience.

How could I write about life when I'd never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? A girl I knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in Africa. How could I compete with that sort of thing?”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“معرفش ليه ...
تنحت للدنيا كده .. !
وفجأة لقيتني مسكون بالملل ...
لاعندي رغبة ف البكا ..
ولا في الكلام ...
ولا عايز أنام ...
ولا حتي بسأل إيه ده ليه ..
وآخرتها إيه ..
وإيه العمل .......
وأخاف أقول لأي حد ….
أحسن يقوم يقلبها جد …
حد صاحبي ينزعج ...
يمد إيده جوه قلبه من باب الكرم ..
عشان يشاركني الألم ...
أو يستلفلي من لئيم حبة أمل ..
حالة كده ....
معرفش إيه ...
ملهاش معاد ..
ساعات تزورني ف الربيع ..
ف الحر ...
وف عز الشتا ...
وتجيب حاجات ...
لا فيها روح ولا ميته...
حالة كده ....
لا معاها تنفع كلمتين ولا غنوتين ...
ولا لقطة من ألبوم صور ..
آلاقي قلبي ف الهوا ويا الكور ...
أخاف أقول لأي حد ....
أحسن يقوم يقلبها جد ..
حالة كده ..
معرفش إيه ..
لكني بطلع منها بعد السكات ..
فاهم شويه ف اللي فات ..
حاسس أوي بحضن الصحاب ...
محظوظ أنا ...
ساعات أشاور ...
ينفتحللي ألف باب…
لكني باغلط ف الحساب ..
ومعرفش ليه
تنحت للدنيا كده ...”

“إنك ترتكب أكبر زلاتك حين تصبح مكشوفًا تمامًا أمام الآخرين. هذه لا تعد شفافية ولا يعد الأمر إخلاصا أيضًا.. إنك تمنحهم بكل بساطة وسيلة التخلص الأسرع منك.
شيء مخيف أن تعطي كل مقابض السكين التي تستطيع جرحك لأحدهم وتصبح عاريا أمامه هكذا..
احتفظ دائما بالأوراق الناجية في أدراجك الخاصة.. بعيدًا عن الطاولة.
الأوراق الأكثر أهمية، الأكثر حساسية..
ومهما خسرت لا تراهن على أحدهم بها.”
― أسما حسين

“ثم لعنت في سرّي مفرداتي الشحيحة وقدرتي المحدودة على التعبير، ملقية باللوم على بديهتي التي غالبًا ما تتعطّل في المواقف المتشنجة، فتضطرّني في النهاية إلى التفوّه بأول وأسخف ما يخطر على بالي.”
― حوراء النداوي, تحت سماء كوبنهاغن

“زهقت من قولة
دي بنت بألف راجل
أنا عايزة أحس
إني معاك مخلوق ضعيف
وإني فعلا بنتمي لجنسي اللطيف
تحميني من حزني
ومن إحساس مخيف

طول النهار مكشرة
وواخداها جد
ولمّة شعري على ورا
ومش شايفة حد
والدنيا حر موت
وأنا مليانة برد
وكل ده عشان يا دوب
أعدي الرصيف

ما عادش في الشارع شجر
بيرمي ضل
وكل يوم حاجات تضيع
وحاجات تقل
وأنا خلاص
ماعرفش ليه بقيت أملّ
واعذرني لو كان الكلام
مُر وسخيف”
― علي سلامة

― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
― Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.”

― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
