“إننا دائماً عميان حين يتعلق الأمر بما هوا في متناول يدنا ونفتش عنه دائماً في البعيد ..ونخسر مرتين ؛ الكنز والزمن !”
― غادة السمان

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. "It's all right" we whisper, "I'm here, I love you." and we lie: "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad.”
― Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days

“You think because he doesn't love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn't want you anymore that he is right -- that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don't. It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn't be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.”
― Toni Morrison

“Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
― Albert Camus

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
― Mae West

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

“لم أفهم معنى ذلك الموت ، لا أفهم معنى للموت .. لكن ما دام محتماً فلنفعل شيئاً يبرر حياتنا . فلنترك بصمة على هذه الأرض قبل أن نغادرها .”
― بهاء طاهر, واحة الغروب

“هل لاحظت معى ان أكثر الناس فراغاً هم أكثرهم ضيقاً بالحياة وافتقاداً للسعادة ؟.. هل تعرف السبب ؟ .. أنا أعرفه .. لأن من أكثر أسباب شقاء الإنسان ضيق أفقه وكثرة انشغاله بنفسه وتفكيره فيها باستمرار كما لو كانت محور الكون .. ومن يشكون الفراغ لا يجدون ماينشغلون به سوى أنفسهم , وكلما ازداد انشغال أحدهم بنفسه رآها جديرة بحياة غير حياته”
― عبد الوهاب مطاوع

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
― Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves

“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“..كان زمان

وابقى وقت الحب عاشق
..وابقى وقت الشدَّه فارسْ
..واعملِك جدول مُذاكرَه زيّ أطفال المدارسْ
وانّي احسّ القلب فاضي
..مهما شال من شوق وجابْ لِكْ
واجري والأشواق بتسبقني
..عشان اوصَل بسرعه.. بسرعه قبلِكْ
..حقِّك انِّ الدمع يفرَحْ
..ينتشِي

حقّك انّ القلب ينطق
!أحلى شيء في الحبّ ذُلُّه
..حقّك اني ابقَى لِك البحر الحنَيِّنْ
وابقَى لو شدّيتي هادي
..وابقَى لو هدّيتي ليّنْ
..حتى لو مرَّه اتعاتبِنْا
..في العتاب تلِْقيني هيّنْ
..وادفِن الجرح فْ كياني
..مهما كان في عْينَيَّه بيِّنْ
حقّك اني اعمِل لِك انتي كُرسي فوق الشمس
..واعمل بينكو طاقَه

“.حَبِيبْتِي
..شَرْطَه مَايْلَه
..فَرَاغْ
وهَاكْتُبْ لِيهْ حُرُوفْ إِسْمِكْ؟
مَا هُو انْتِي فْ قَلْبِي سَاكْنَه الْقَلْب
عَارْفَه بْقِصِّتِي وْحَالِي
ومِينْ غِيرِكْ فِي قَلْبِي اكْتُبْ لُه مِرْسَالِي؟
..و...... أَمَّا بَعْد
مَانِيشْ عَارِفْ جَوَابِي دَا جَوَابِي الكَّامْ
مَا عُدتِشْ بَاحْسِب الصّفْحَاتْ
مَا عُدتِشْ بَاحْسِب الاّقْلاَمْ
مَا عُدتِشْ بَاحْسِب اللّي ضَاعْ مِن الأَحْلاَمْ
..كِفَايَه انِّي بَاحِبِّكْ بس
..وقَلْبِكْ لَوْ بِقَلْبِي حسّ

أَوْ شَافْ حَالُه فِي بْعَادِكْ
!لَصَلَّى لْرَبُّه واسْتَغْفَرْ لِذَنْبُه...وْصَامْ
قُولِي لِي ازّايْ أَحِبِّكْ حُبّ يِرْضِيكِي؟
أَنَا تَايِهْ... وِنِفْسِي اوْصَلْ أَرَاضِيكِي
دَا لَوْ كَان الْهَوَا بِالسُّهْد
..انَا سِيدُهْ
ولَوْ قُلْتِي انّ حُبِّكْ صُوم
..أَنَا عِيدُهْ
ولَوْ حُبِّك فِدَاهْ قَلْبِي
أَقَطَّعْ قَلْبِي مِيتْ مَرَّهْ
..وَاقَدِّمْ لِكْ عَنَاقِيدُهْ
!وِبِتْقُولِي بَاحِبِّكْ لِيهْ؟
وهُوَّ الْقَلْب مِتْعَذِّبْ كِدَه بْإِيدُهْ؟
بَاحِبِّكْ... حَتَّى لَوْ بِاب الْقُبُول اتْسَدّ

وَاجِيبْ لِكْ مِ اليَاقُوتْ كَفَّهْ

أَقَعْ فِي عْينِيكِي وَاتْوَضَّا
وَاصَلِّي رَكْعِتِينْ لله
وَابُوسْ نِنّ الْعِينِينْ

ومَا اسْمَحْشِي لِحَدّ يْكُونْ شِرِيكْ فِيَّهْ
وقَبْل مَا يِخْلَص الْمِرْسَالْ
:بَاعِتْ لِكْ مِنْ عِينَيَّه سُؤَالْ
وهُوَّ الْحُبّ كَانْ عِيبَهْ؟
ولَوْ مَرَّهْ حِلِمْت بْضِحْكِتِكْ فِي النُّومْ
عَلَيَّهْ تِتْحَسَبْ غِيبَهْ؟
وفِي الآَخِرْ
بَاعِتْ لِكْ وَيَّا مِرْسَالِي الْجِدِيدْ أَحْلاَمْ
بَلاَشْ تِرْمِيهَا كَالْعَادَه مِنَ اعْلَى الْبُرْجْ

“هل تعرف هذا الشعور؟.. أن تلمح في عيني مخلوقٍ سره. أن تنظر له فتعرف – من نظرتك الأولى – أنه سيكون لك معه شأنٌ عظيم.. أن تلتقي عيناكما فيقول كلٌ منكما للآخر بالنظرة التي درسها كلاكما في مدرسة الحياة : " أنا غامض.. هل تستطيع أن تكشف سري ؟!”
― أحمد صبري غباشي, حياتك الباقية

“كيف نضجر وللسماء هذه الزرقة ، وللأرض هذه الخضرة ، وللورد هذا الشذا ، وللقلب هذه القدرة العجيبة على الحب ، وللروح هذه الطاقة اللانهائية على الإيمان. كيف نضجر وفي الدنيا من نحبهم ، ومن نعجب بهم ، ومن يحبوننا ، ومن يعجبون بنا.”
― نجيب محفوظ

“What hurts the most

And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”
― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
