“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

“الحب هو ذكاء المسافة. ألّا تقترب كثيراً فتُلغي اللهفة، ولا تبتعد طويلًا فتُنسى. ألّا تضع حطبك دفعةً واحدةً في موقد من تُحب. أن تُبقيه مشتعلًا بتحريكك الحطب ليس أكثر، دون أن يلمح الآخر يدك المحرّكة لمشاعره ومسار قدره.”
― أحلام مستغانمي, الأسود يليق بك

“في الواقع، التواضع كلمة لا تناسبني تماماً. أن تتواضع يعني أن تعتقد أنك مهم لسبب أو لآخر،
ثم تقوم بجهد التنازل والتساوي لبعض الوقت بالآخرين، دون أن تنسى تماما أنك أهم منهم.
هذا الشعور لم أعرفه يوماً. لقد كنت دائما امرأة لفرط بساطتها، يعتقد كل البسطاء، وكل
الفاشلين حولها أنها منهم.”
― أحلام مستغانمي, فوضى الحواس

“Only ideas won by walking have any value.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“كم تشتكي وتقول إنك معدم
والأرض ملكك والسما والأنجم

ولك الحقول وزهرها ونخيلها
ونسيمها والبلبل المترنم

والماء حولك فضة رقراقة
والشمس فوقك عسجد يتضرم

والنور يبني في السفوح وفي الذرا
دورا مزخرفة وحينا يهدم

هشت لك الدنيا فما لك واجما؟
وتبسمت فعلام لا تتبسم؟

إن كنت مكتئبا لعز قد مضى
هيهات يرجعه اليك تندُم

أو كنت تشفق من حلول مصيبة
هيهات يمنع أن تحل تجهم

أو كنت جاوزت الشباب فلا تقل
شاخ الزمان فإنه لا يهرم

انظر فما زالت تطل من الثرى
صور تكاد لحسنها تتكلم”
― إيليا أبو ماضي

“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“إن الشيطان ليستطيع أن يقتبس من الأسفار المقدسة ما يخدم غرضه”

“يا الله.حجابك,رغم هذه السماء الصافية,كثيف.
توجتني بتاج العقل,وأبقيتني طالبا فقيدا يعجزة المسطور في الكتاب.هل يارب أودعت القلب جواب السؤال؟وكيف لي أن اشق صدري,وأغسل قلبي من كل شائبة,فيصفو كما المراة وينجلي,فأشاهد فيه معنى الحكاية والهدف.”
― رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

“جفنهُ علمَ الغزل
جَفنهُ علمَّ الغزلْ
ومنَ العِلمِِ ماقتل
فحرقنا نفوسَنا
في جحيمٍٍ من القبل
**
ونشدنا ولم نزل
حلمَ الحبِ والشباب
حلمَ الزهرِ والندى
حلمَ اللهوِ والشراب
**
هاتها من يدى الرضى
جرعةً تبعثُ الجنون
كيفَ يشكو من الظما
مَنْ لهُ هذهِ العيون
**
ياحبيبي اكلما
ضمنا للهوى مكان
اشعلوا النارَ حولنا
فغدونا لها دخان
قل لمن لامَ في الهوى
هكذا الحسنُ قد امر
إنْ عشقنا فعذرُنا
إنَ في وجهِنا نظر”
― بشارة الخوري

Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun

“I see you, beneath the surface. I see your untamable wild. I see your billowing heart. I see your unshed tears and your not yet dreams and your devotion to spirit. I see you howl at the moon and call the ocean home and ground to earth and grow taller than the trees.

I see you.

You are not alone. You are not invisible.

You are seen. You are seen. You are seen.

And my god, you are beautiful.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
