“كل واحد منا قارة مجهولة تماماً ، وداخله أعماق لا تدري أبداً متى تنتهي .. كل إنسان منا بلا نهاية كالكون”
― أحمد بهجت, مذكرات صائم

“عشان فيكى منى فى طبع الجنان ..
عشان فيا منك فى طبع الحنان ..
عشان احنا نسخة ..
عشان احنا مُسخة ..
عشان فيه تشابه بشكل ابن وسخة ..
عشان فى ف دروبنا علامات كزالك ..
وعشان فيه ف دروبنا علامات كذلك ..
برغم ان مفهاش ولا درب سالك ..
وعشان احنا أصلًا سوا من زمان ..
بحبك ..
لذلك ..
وأكتر ..
كمان ..
عشان مش ضرورى ..
يكون فيه عشان”

“تفرانيل 100
انا شعرى غامق
بس قلبى مطقطق ابيض من زمان
جايز عشان
الناس ساعات بتلاقى ناس
تعرف تشوفها بجد
و انا قلبى لسه عمره ما اتكشف ع حد
بقابل اد ما اقابل
و افارق اد ما افارق
و ما اتعلمش
بلخبط ف الاسامى عشان
بخاف انسى
بلخبط ف الدنيا عشان
بخاف لا ما اعيشش
بقالى كتير ما بتكلمش
بخاف يبقى الكلام متعاد
ما كملتش ف اى رحيل
ما كملتش ف اى قعاد
و بدى للحياة بالكاد
ما يكفيها
و يكفينى
شرور البهدلة فيها
مليش ف البنت طلبات غير
تنسينى اللى قبليها
و بدخل ف حاجات تخاطيف
و عينى ع اللى بعديها
رقصت كتير ع السلم
بخاف اطلع
و اخاف من الارض
- اكيد الخوف مش الفكرة
و حتى يا ستى يعنى بفرض
اكيد الخوف مهواش عيب
طبيعى الناس تخاف من الغيب
و من المقدور
برغم كدة
بحب الضلمة اكتر ما بحب النور
ساعات بتمنى شقة ف برج شايفة النيل
و اوقات انى اعيش مستور
و بزهد .. ف كل ما ف الرحلة من زخرف
و ما زهدهاش
ما دام فيها رمق يتعاش
اكيد ف الرحلة يوم متحاش
و مستنى اعدى عليه
- و تعرف عنه اصلا اية ؟
مفيش غير انه لسه مجاش
بنام ؟
طبعا .. كتير جدا
و بالايام
و طول الوقت بحلم ان انا بجرى
و بشبع من الحاجات بدرى
و رغم كدة لسه ما شبعتش
من الجرى و من الاحلام
بخاف من الموت
عشان خايف ساعتها اكون
عبيط .. كل اللى سيبته كلام
بشوف افلام
عن الدنيا
و عن حكايات
لناس عاشت حاجات تانية
و عن حكايات لناس ماعاشوش
و بتأثر
و بتحسر
ع كل اللى كان ممكن
اكونه
بس ما بقيتهوش
ما سبتش شئ مجربتوش
ولا جربته و ما سبتوش
بحب العود
و احب الناى
و اموت و اعرف حقيقى ازاى
حاجات من دى
ساعات بتدب فيها الروح
من اللمس و من الانفاس
فتبقى حية اكتر من البشر و الناس
مفيش احساس
لحسن الحظ و لسوئه
ما بيعديش
مفيش ولا طعم حاجة من اللى بتدوقه
مسيره يعيش
بحلوه و بمره كله بيتسخط لمفيش
يا سبحان اللى بيعودنا ع الحاجة
فننساها
و بيخفف كاسات الناس
بميه بدال ما يملاها
عشان طعم اللى فيها يروح
عشان طعم اللى فيها يخف
يقولوا مجازا المجروح
اذا خد ع الوجع .. بيخف
تلف عليه سواقى الكون
تدوب اللى فات
ف الجاى
ف سبحانه اما قال
منها جعلنا
( كل شئ حى )
زمان فيه حد علمنا
ف درس الدين
دعاء بيقول :
يا خالق كل شئ ناقص .. كمالته معاك
يا شايل من الحاجات حتة .. بنترجاك
بحق المشهد الكامل
و اسمك اللى انا عرفته
تسيب اللى يكفينا
و تكفينا بما سبته
ما تحوجناش
لجاى مجاش
و ترضينا بما جبته
و ندعى وراه بصوت عالى
يرج الفصل رج خفيف
و اكمل دعوتى ف سرى
( و ترحم قلبى ف شيبته )
كما تدعو الفروع الاصل
دعوتها
ف كل خريف”
― مصطفى إبراهيم, المانيفستو

“The Quiet World

In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.”
― Jeffrey McDaniel, Forgiveness Parade

“He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day. Choice: that was the thing.”
― Sherman Alexie, The Toughest Indian in the World

“Frida Kahlo to Marty McConnell

leaving is not enough; you must
stay gone. train your heart
like a dog. change the locks
even on the house he’s never
visited. you lucky, lucky girl.
you have an apartment
just your size. a bathtub
full of tea. a heart the size
of Arizona, but not nearly
so arid. don’t wish away
your cracked past, your
crooked toes, your problems
are papier mache puppets
you made or bought because the vendor
at the market was so compelling you just
had to have them. you had to have him.
and you did. and now you pull down
the bridge between your houses,
you make him call before
he visits, you take a lover
for granted, you take
a lover who looks at you
like maybe you are magic. make
the first bottle you consume
in this place a relic. place it
on whatever altar you fashion
with a knife and five cranberries.
don’t lose too much weight.
stupid girls are always trying
to disappear as revenge. and you
are not stupid. you loved a man
with more hands than a parade
of beggars, and here you stand. heart
like a four-poster bed. heart like a canvas.
heart leaking something so strong
they can smell it in the street.”
― Marty McConnell

“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”
― Frida Kahlo

“It hurts to love. It's like giving yourself to be flayed and knowing that at any moment the other person may just walk off with your skin.”
― Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

“She felt herself needing more and more sleep. When she awoke in the morning, she thought of when she might lie down again - and when she would sleep. She started going to the movies.”
― Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

“Instead of expecting all and being lowered into despair each time I get less, I expect nothing now and, occasionally, I get a little, and am more than a little happy.”
― Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“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

“Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“Excessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.”
― Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra

“Scars speak more loudly than the sword that caused them.”
― Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra

“May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.”
― Dan George

“If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“In her eyes, the sadness sings—of one who was destined, for better things.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

“The only people I would care to be with now are artists and people who have suffered: those who know what beauty is, and those who know what sorrow is: nobody else interests me.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

“All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven
