    Kahlil Gibran
    “البعض نحبهم
    لكن لا نقترب منهم...فهم في البعد أحلى
    وهم في البعد أرقى...وهم في البعد أغلى

    البعض نحبهم
    ونسعى كي نقترب منهم
    ونتقاسم تفاصيل الحياة معهم
    ويؤلمنا الابتعاد عنهم
    ويصعب علينا تصوّر الحياة حين تخلو منهم.

    البعض نحبّهم
    ونتمنى أن نعيش حكاية جميلة معهم
    ونفتعل الصدف لكي نلتقي بهم
    ونختلق الأسباب كي نراهم
    ونعيش في الخيال أكثر من الواقع معهم

    البعض نحبهم
    بيننا و بين أنفسنا
    نصمت برغم الألم
    لا نجاهر بحبهم حتى لهم لأن
    العواقب مخيفه و من الأفضل لنا و لهم أن تبقى الأبواب مغلقة

    البعض نحبهم
    فنملأ الأرض بحبهم و نحدث الدنيا عنهم
    و نحتاج إلى وجودهم..كالماء..والهواء
    و نختنق فى غيابهم أو الأبتعاد عنهم

    البعض نحبّهم
    لأننا لا نجد سواهم
    وحاجتنا إلى الحب تدفعنا نحوهم
    فالأيام تمضي
    والعمر ينقضي
    والزمن لا يقف
    ويرعبنا بأن نبقى بلا رفيق

    البعض نحبهم
    لأن مثلهم لا يستحق سوى الحب
    ولا نملك أمامهم سوى أن نحب
    نرمم معهم أشياء كثيرة
    نعيد طلاء الحياة
    ونسعى صادقين كي نمنحهم بعض السعادة

    البعض نحبهم
    و لا نجد صدى للحب في
    قلوبهم
    فننهار
    ونتخبط في حكايات فاشلة
    فلا نكرههم
    لا ننساهم
    لا نحب سواهم
    ونعود نبكيهم بعد كل محاولة فاشلة

    والبعض نحبّهم
    ويبقى فقط أن يحبّوننا
    مثلما نحبّهم”
    جبران خليل جبران

    “Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

    Sylvia Plath
    “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? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
    Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

    Chase Brooks
    “When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside - that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything.”
    Chase Brooks, Hello, My Love 2: First Love Deserves a Second Chance

    Robert Frost
    “The Road Not Taken

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.”
    Robert Frost

    Matt Haig
    “THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”
    Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

    Maggie Nelson
    “If I were today on my deathbed, I would name my love of the color blue and making love with you as two of the sweetest sensations I knew on this earth.”
