Aya Khaled > Aya's Quotes

“She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river of blood.

She only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped, and you fell. All your tomorrows start here.”
― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
― Kobayashi Issa, Poems

“It happens like this.

"One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."

Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.
That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.”

she found.”

“المراية بعيدة جداً ،
و الطريق على مد شوفي ..
و الفضول اللي ف عنيا إني اشوفني ..
مداري خوفي ..
وصف كل الخلق ليا .. ليه تمللي عكس بعضه ؟
و كل وصف اتقال عليا .. ليه بييجي عكسه بعده ؟
حد شايف اني خايف .. غيره حاسس اني بايع ..
حبه فاكرين اني عارف .. حبة عارفين اني ضايع ..
طلعوا كل الطبايع ، الصفات الممكنة ..
و ارسموني بفرشة تايهة .. م الآراء و الألسنة ..
تطلع الصورة الغريبة ..لحد أصلاً مش هنا ..
و النتيجة كل مادا ..
صورتي تتلخبط زيادة ..
و أنسى أصل شكلي إيه ..
و للا نفسي أشوفني ليه ..
حد زيي بعد فترة ازاي يصدق غير عينيه ؟
نفسي أوصل للحقيقة ،،
قبل ما اوصل للنهاية..
نفسي أشوف صورتي الدقيقة ..
و لو دقيقة .. في المراية ..
و المراية ..
بعـيدة جداً ..
و الطريق على مد شوفي ..
و الفضول اللي ف عنيا .. إني اشوفني ..
مداري خوفي ..”

“يبكي ويضحك لاحزناً ولا فرحا كعاشقٍ خطَّ سطراً في الهوى ومحا
من بسمة النجم همس في قصائده ومن مخالسة الظّبـي الذي سـنحا
قلبٌ تمرس باللذات وهو فتى كبرعم لـمـسته الريح فانفـتحا
ماللأقاحية السمراء قد صرفـت عـنّا هواها؟أرق الـحسن ما سمحا
لو كنت تدرين ماألقاه من شجن لكنت أرفق مـن آسى ومن صفحا
غداةَ لوَّحْتِ بالآمال باسمةً لان الذي ثار وانقاد الذي جمحا
ما همني ولسانُ الحب يهتف بي اذا تبسم وجه الدهر أو كلحا
فالروضُ مهما زهتْ قفرٌ اذا حرمت من جانحٍ رفَّ أو من صادحٍ صدحا”
― بشارة الخوري, الأخطل الصغير أمير الشعراء

“كل يومين .. بكبر و ارمي حاجات
و اكتشف إن أنا .. كان ممكن أعيش

― مصطفى إبراهيم, المانيفستو

― مصطفى إبراهيم, المانيفستو

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.”
