“Peeta, you said at the interview you’d had a crush on me forever. When did forever start?

Oh, let’s see. I guess the first day of school. We were five. You had on a red plaid dress and your hair...it was in two braids instead of one. My father pointed you out when we were waiting to line up."

Your father? Why?"

He said, ‘See that little girl? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner.'"

What? You’re making that up!"

No, true story. And I said, 'A coal miner? Why did she want a coal miner if she could’ve had you?' And he said, 'Because when he sings...even the birds stop to listen.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“Grown-ups love figures... When you tell them you've made a new friend they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies? " Instead they demand "How old is he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make? " Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. I do not seek or conjecture either of them as if they were veiled obscurities or extravagances beyond the horizon of my vision; I see them before me and connect them immediately with the consciousness of my existence.”
― Immanuel Kant, Critique of Practical Reason

“إن الحياه محبطه و مأساويه, تتركنا ندخل عالماً رائعاً, نتلاقى, نتتعارف, نقطع معاً جزءا من الطريق, ثم نتوه عن بعضنا البعض, و نختفي بالسرعه ذاتها التي جئنا بها في المره الأولى”

“A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to do and that you've ever done. But what's yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky again.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down, and trust your insticts. Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends you choose. It's with the people you surround yourself with.”

“يارب استحلفتك بضعفي وقوتك ، وأقسمت عليك بعجزي واقتدارك .. إلا جعلت لي مخرجاً من ظلمتي إلى نوري .. ومن نوري إلى نورك .. سبحانك لا إله إلا أنت”

“إن الإنسان الذي خطا ربع مليون ميل في الفضاء إلى القمر عجز عن خطوة طولها بضعة أمتار ليعاون زملاء له يموتون بالجوع في الهند وآخرين يسحقهم الظلم في القدس وفيتنام ..
وأمريكا تلتقي بروسيا على سطع القمر وتعجز عن أن تلتقي بها في مجلس الأمن.

والهروب من تلك النفس وعطبها إلى فضاء الكون حيث يكون الإعتماد على قوانين الله الدقيقة هو الأمر المأمون والسهل .. وهو أسهل آلاف المرات من عكوف الإنسان على نفسه ليصلحها ويقومها ..
ولكنه في ذات الوقت هروب من رسالة الإنسان الأولى على الأرض .. أن يعرف نفسه ويقومها.

بالفكر وبالدين وبالعلم معا يصنع الإنسان نفسه .. أما بالعلم المادي وحده وبدون إيمان وبدون خلق فلن يصنع من نفسه إلا جبارا ومسخا عملاقا مشوها يتنقل بين الكواكب ويخترع أسلحة بشعة رهيبة للقتل الجماعي يدمر بها الكل ثم يدمر بها نفسه دون أن يدري.”

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
― Ted Hughes, Letters of Ted Hughes

“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.”

“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”

“البعض يتهمنا بالمثالية حينما نتحدث عن التفاؤل، والأمل، والحب ..
في الحقيقة أنني أدرك جيداً أن الحياة صعبة وقاسية ومؤلمة .. ولم أقل يوما أنها غير ذلك ..
لكنني أؤمن بأن محاربة شدائد الحياة ومصاعبها تحتاج إلى جملة اسلحة، منها سلاح التفاؤل، والأمل، وتغليب حسن الظن بالله دائما ..
انتظار الأفضل وتوقعه .. وطلب ما عند الله من خير وفضل يليقان بكرمه وجوده سبحانه وتعالى ..
وإلا فما جدوى الحياة يا أصدقائي إذا ما أغُلقت حلقاتها، وضرب اليأس أركانها، وصارت كالمصيبة استعجال شرها خير من انتظاره ..؟”

“لا تعش أحلام شخص آخر ، ولا تسمح لأحد أن يختار لك طريقك ، أو يملي عليك ما يجب عمله ..

نَلْ من الحياة ما تريد بقوة وإصرار”

“إن المبادرة في الإنشاء الحضاري لا تأتي من الجماهير بل من النخبة، وللجماهير قوتها التي لا تنكر، ودورها الخطير الذي تلعبه في توجيه الأحداث والحضارات، ولكن جدوى هذا الدور - خيراً أم شراً - تتوقف على صحة الوعي من الأفراد المبدعين ومن القيادات المبدعة التي هي دوماً قلة في المجتمع ص 204”
