“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“هؤلاء البشر الذين يجيئون من الابديه و يعودون اليها قبل ان يذوقوا طعم الحياه الحقيقيه لا يمكنهم ان يدركوا كنه اوجاع المراه عندما تقف نفسها بين رجل تحبه بارادة السماء و رجل تلتصق به بشريعه الارض.هي ماساه اليمه مكتوبه بدماء الانثى و دموعها يقرؤها الرجل ضاحكا لانه لا يفهمها وان فهمها انقلب ضحكه فجورا و قساوة و انزل وعلى راس المراه من غضبه نارا و كبريتا وملا اذنيها لعنا و تجذيفا”

“تأبى أحرف كلماتى إلا أن تخلع خمارهن أمام عينيك
تودع أناملى باحثةً عن قلبك

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
