    Simone Elkeles
    “Marry me, Kiara,” he blurts out in front of everyone.
    “Why?” she asks, challenging him.
    “Because I love you,” he says, walking up to her and bending down on one knee while he takes her hand in his, “and I want to go to sleep with you every night and wake up seein’ your face every mornin’, I want you to be the mother of my children, I want to fix cars with you and eat your crappy tofu tacos that you think are Mexican. I want to climb mountains with you and be challenged by you, I want to argue with you just so we can have crazy hot makeup sex. Marry me, because without you I’d be six feet under … and because I love your family like they’re my own … and because you’re my best friend and I want to grow old with you.” He starts tearing up, and it’s shocking because I’ve never seen him cry. “Marry me, Kiara Westford, because when I got shot the only thing I was thinkin’ about was comin’ back here and makin’ you my wife. Say yes, chica.”
    Simone Elkeles, Chain Reaction

    عبد الرحمن الشرقاوي
    “أتعرف ما معنى الكلمة؟
    مفتاح الجنة في كلمة
    دخول النار على كلمه
    وقضاء الله هو كلمه
    الكلمة لو تعرف حرمه زاد مزخور
    ...
    الكلمة نور ..
    وبعض الكلمات قبور
    وبعض الكلمات قلاع شامخة يعتصم بها النبل البشري
    الكلمة فرقان بين نبي وبغي
    بالكلمة تنكشف الغمة
    الكلمة نور
    ودليل تتبعه الأمة .
    عيسى ما كان سوى كلمة
    أضاء الدنيا بالكلمات وعلمها للصيادين
    فساروا يهدون العالم ..
    الكلمة زلزلت الظالم
    الكلمة حصن الحرية
    إن الكلمة مسؤولية إن الرجل هو كلمة، شرف الله هو الكلمة”
    عبد الرحمن الشرقاوي, الحسين ثائرًا. شهيدًا
