“The anticipation and dread he felt at seeing her was also a kind of sensual pleasure, and surrounding it, like an embrace, was a general elation--it might hurt, it was horribly inconvenient, no good might come of it, but he had found out for himself what it was to be in love, and it thrilled him.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them.”
― Sylvia Plath, Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams: Short Stories, Prose and Diary Excerpts

“That’s one of the reasons I never wanted to get married. The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted

How free it is, you have no idea how free.”
― Sylvia Plath, Ariel

“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“تُنسى كأنك لم تكن

تنسى كمصرع طائر

ككنيسة مهجورة تنسى

كحب عابر

وكوردة في الريح

وكوردة في الثلج

تنسى

انا للطريق

هناك من سبقت خطاه خطاي

من املى رؤاه على رؤاي

هناك من نثر الكلام على سجيته

ليعبر في الحكاية

او يضيء لمن سيأتي بعده

أثرا غنائيا وجرسا

تُنسى كأنك لم تكن

شخصا ولا نصا..وتنسى

امشي على هدي البصيرة

ربما أعطي الحكاية سيرة شخصية

فالمفردات تقودني وأقودها

انا شكلها

وهي التجلي الحر

لكن قيل ما سأقول

يسبقني غد ماض

انا ملك الصدى لا عرش لي الا الهوامش

فالطريق هو الطريقة

ربما نسي الأوائل وصف شيء ما

لاوقظ فيه عاطفة وحسا

تنسى كأنك لم تكن خبرا ولا أثرا وتنسى

انا للطريق

هناك من تمشي خطاه على خطاي

ومن سيسبقني الى رؤياي

من سيقول شعرا في مديح حدائق المنفى امام البيت

حرا من غدي المقصوم

من غيبي ودنياي

حرا من عبادة الأمس

من فردوسي الأرضي

حرا من كناياتي ومن لغتي

فأشهد أنني حر وحي حين..أُنسى”
― محمود درويش
