― H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”

“We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives.”

“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.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“- إعلام العولمه -

بعد شهور من سقوط البرجين, قصفت إسرائيل جنين.
مخيم اللاجئين الفلسطينيين هذا, تحول إلى حفره هائله, ممتلئه بموتى تحت الأنقاض.
حفرة جنين لها حجم حفرة برجي نيويورك نفسه
ولكن, كم من الناس رأوها, عير أولئك المتبقين على قيد الحياه الذين يقلبون الأنقاض بحثاُ عن ذويهم؟”
― إدواردو غاليانو, أفواه الزمن

“الاستعمار الواضح يبتـُرك دون تنكر : يمنعك من الكلام ، ومن الفعل ، أو يمنعك من الوجود. أما الاستعمار اللامرئي ، على أي حال ، يقنعك أن القنانة هي قدرك والعجز طبيعتك: يقنعك أنه ليس من الممكن الكلام وليس من الممكن الفعل ، وليس من الممكن الوجود”
― إدواردو غاليانو
