“Life is still better than University. In school, your teacher is the fruit picker and you are the open fruit basket. Then you take those fruits and make cakes and pies. But life is going to give you the chance to go out there and pick those fruits yourself. Then you can eat them, or make them into something else; any which way, your own hands picked them!”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Once we were blobs in the sea, and then fishes, and then lizards and rats and then monkeys, and hundreds of things in between. This hand was once a fin, this hand once had claws! In my human mouth I have the pointy teeth of a wolf and the chisel teeth of a rabbit and the grinding teeth of a cow! Our blood is as salty as the sea we used to live in! When we're frightened, the hair on our skin stands up, just like it did when we had fur. We are history! Everything we've ever been on the way to becoming us, we still are. [...]

I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the colour of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

not monkeys minding machines
or sitting with our tails curled
while the machine amuses us, the radio or film or gramophone.

Monkeys with a bland grin on our faces.”

“Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“ذات مرة كتب طه حسين الى زوجته سوزان يقول: «بدونك اشعر اني اعمى حقا. اما وانا معك، فإني اتوصل الى الشعور بكل شيء، واني امتزج بكل الاشياء التي تحيط بي». وعندما رحل هو عن العالم، كتبت هي تقول: «ذراعي لن تمسك بذراعك ابدا، ويداي تبدوان لي بلا فائدة بشكل محزن، فأغرق في اليأس، اريد عبر عيني المخضبتين بالدموع، حيث يقاس مدى الحب، وامام الهاوية المظلمة، حيث يتأرجح كل شيء، اريد ان ارى تحت جفنيك اللذين بقيا محلقين، ابتسامتك المتحفظة، ابتسامتك المبهمة، الباسلة، اريد ان ارى من جديد ابتسامتك الرائعة..»”
