Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

“قد شاب صغيرك يا أمي ..
ما عاد بريئًا يا أمي..
ولكم قد هادن وتراخى
..ولكم قد نافق وتنازل
!ولكم داهن

صدأ الأعوام يغلفني
..وغبار الرحلة يعميني
أبخرة التبغ مع الحسرة
..تتسرب من صدري الفاني
حقًا
..قد واجهت الدنيا
حقًا
..قد حاربت الدنيا
..هزمتني
..لم أفهم هذا
..ومضيت أغني ألحاني
سحقتني الدنيا لكني
!لم أعلن هذا يا أمي

..قد شاخ صغيرك يا أمي
..ما عاد صغيرًا يا أمي
قد غادر مهدك كي يعرفْ
لكني حقًا لم أعرفْ
ابتعت فراء الحملانِ
جربت مسوح الرهبانِ
ولبست دروع الفرسانِ
لكني
ـ أقسم يا أمي
لم أخدع إلا مرآتي
حتى في ثوب الشيطانِ
لم أدرك معنى لحياتي
ولعمري هذي مأساتي

سيموت صغيرك يا أمي
أحلام شبابي أضنته
وقروح الماضي أدمته
أجتاز مدينة إحباطي
إكليل العار على رأسي
إني أحيا
حقًا أحيا
وبرغم تخاريفي أحيا
وبكل أكاذيبي أحيا
وبدون طموحاتي أحيا
والناس جميعًا إن كانوا
قد هزموا في الدنيا مثلي
إن كانوا قد كذبوا مثلي
فبأية معجزة ننسى ؟
وبأية معجزة نحيا ؟
أجيال
قد هُزمت قبلي
وستُهزم أجيال بعدي
فلماذا
ـ عفوًا يا أمي ـ
يكسوني العار أنا وحدي ؟

كي أكمل هذي الأغنية
لا يوجد عمر يكفيني
أنواء الليل تحاصرني
وتضيق
تضيق
!شراييني”
― أحمد خالد توفيق

“إذا كان الكتاب الذي نقرأه لا يوقظنا بخبطة على جمجمتنا، فلماذا نقرأ الكتاب إذن؟ كي يجعلنا سعداء كما كتبت؟ يا إلهي، كنا سنصبح سعداء حتى لو لم تكن عندنا كتب، والكتب التي تجعلنا سعداء يمكن عند الحاجة أن نكتبها، إننا نحتاج إلى تلك الكتب التي تنزل علينا كالصاعقة التي تؤلمنا، كموت من نحبه أكثر مما نحب أنفسنا، التي تجعلنا نشعر وكأننا قد طردنا إلى الغابات بعيداً عن الناس، مثل الانتحار.
على الكتاب أن يكون كالفأس التي تحطم البحر المتجمد في داخلنا، هذا ما أظنه.”
― فرانز كافكا

“لا تجعل ثيابك أغلى شيءٍ فيك , حتى لا تجد نفسك يوماً أرخص ممّا ترتدي”
