“هل يوجد غير الموسيقى من يعطينا شهوة الحلم والذهاب بعيدا في حنيننا؟ نتحمل قسوة الحياة وصرامتها ،لأن الموسيقى من حين لآخر تفاجئنا بعنفوانها ودهشتها وتشعرنا بطفولتنا الدائمة ،وإلا من يملأ هذا الخواء المفجع الذي يزداد اتساعا فينا كل يوم؟”
― واسيني الأعرج, طوق الياسمين

“في مرحلة ما من هشاشةٍ نُسَمَّيها
نضجاً , لا نكون متفائلين ولا متشائمين .
أَقلعنا عن الشغف والحنين وعن تسمية
الأشياء بأضدادها , من فرط ما التبس
علينا الأمر بين الشكل والجوهر, ودرَّبنا
الشعورَ على التفكير الهادئ قبل البوح .
للحكمة أسلبُ الطبيب في النظر إلى
الجرح . وإذ ننظر إلى الوراء لنعرف أَين
نحن منَّا ومن الحقيقة نسأل : كم ارتكبنا
من الأخطاء ؟ وهل وصلنا إلى الحكمة
متأخرين . لسنا متأكدين من صواب
الريح , فماذا ينفعنا أن نصل إلى أيّ
شيء متأخرين , حتى لو كان هنالك
من ينظرنا على سفح الجبل , ويدعونا
إلى صلاة الشكر لأننا وصلنا سالمين ...
لا متفائلين ولا متشائمين , لكن متأخرين !”
― محمود درويش, أثر الفراشة

“أشهد أنني حيّ وحرّ حين أنسى”
