“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

“لنفترق الآن ما دام في مقلتينا بريق

وما دام في قعر كأسي وكأسك بعض الرحيق

فعمّا قليل يطلّ الصباح ويخبو القمر

ونلمح في الضوء ما رسمته أكفّ الضجر

على جبهتينا

وفي شفتينا

وندرك أن الشعور الرقيق

مضى ساخرا وطواه القدر

***

لنفترق الآن , ما زال في شفتينا نغم

تكّبر أن يكشف السر فاختار صمت العدم

وما زال في قطرات الندى شفة تتغنّى

وما زال وجهك مثل الظلام له ألف معنى

كسته الظلال

جمال المحال

وقد يعتريه جمود الصّنم

إذا رفع الليل كفيّه عنّا

***

لنفترق الآن , أسمع صوتا وراء النخيل

رهيبا أجشّ الرنين يذكّرني بالرحيل

وأشعر كفّيك ترتعشان كأنّك تخفي

شعورك مثلي وتحبس صرخة حزن وخوف .

لم الإرتجاف؟

وفيم نخاف؟

ألسنا سندرك عمّا قليل

بأن الغرام غمامة صيف

***

لنفترق الآن , كالغرباء , وننسى الشّعور

وفي الغد يشرق دهر جديد وتمضي عصور

وفيم التذكّر؟ هل كان غير رؤى عابره

أطافت هنا برفيقين في ساعة غابره؟

وغير مساء

طواه الفناء

وأبقى صداه وبعض سطور

من الشعر في شفتي شاعره؟

***

لنفترق الآن, أشعر بالبرد والخوف, دعنا

نغادر هذا المكان ونرجع من حيث جئنا

غريبين نسحب عبء ادّكاراتنا الباهته

وحيدين نحمل أصداء قصتنا المائته

لبعض القبور

وراء العصور

هنالك لا يعرف الدهر عنّا

سوى لون أعيننا الصامته”
― نازك الملائكة

“He was a mess of scars like the sky was a mess of stars.”
― Hafsah Faizal, We Hunt the Flame

“Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can't help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year. I feel I know you so well that I couldn't have known you better if we'd been friends for twenty years. You won't fail me, will you? Only two minutes, and you've made me happy forever. Yes, happy. Who knows, perhaps you've reconciled me with myself, resolved all my doubts.

When I woke up it seemed to me that some snatch of a tune I had known for a long time, I had heard somewhere before but had forgotten, a melody of great sweetness, was coming back to me now. It seemed to me that it had been trying to emerge from my soul all my life, and only now-

If and when you fall in love, may you be happy with her. I don't need to wish her anything, for she'll be happy with you. May your sky always be clear, may your dear smile always be bright and happy, and may you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights

“I can see the sun, but even if I cannot see the sun, I know that it exists. And to know that the sun is there - that is living.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them — the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Yet, I didn't understand that she was intentionally disguising her feelings with sarcasm; that was usually the last resort of people who are timid and chaste of heart, whose souls have been coarsely and impudently invaded; and who, until the last moment, refuse to yield out of pride and are afraid to express their own feelings to you.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

“دع المساجد للــعباد تسكنها***وطف بنا حول خمار ليسقينا
ما قال ربك ويل للذين سكروا***ولكن قال ويل للمـصلينا”
― أبو نواس

“ذُنُوْبِي مِثْلُ اَعْدَادِ الرِّمَالِ فَهَبْ لِي تَوْبَةً يَا ذَاالْجَلالِ
وَ عُمْرِي نَاقِصٌ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ ذَنْبِي زَائِدٌ كَيْفَ احْتِمَالِي
اِلهِي عبْدُكَ الْعَاصِي اٰتَاك مُقِرًّا بِالذُّنُوْبِ وَ قَدْ دَ عَاكَ
اِنْ تَغْفِرْ وَ اَنْتَ لِذاكَ اَهْلٌ وَ ِانْ تَتْرُدْ فَمَنْ نَرْجُو سِواكَ”
― أبو نواس, ديوان أبي نواس
