Ayman Ehab > Ayman's Quotes

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“The world itself, whose single meaning I do not understand, is but a vast irrational. If one could
only say just once: “This is clear,” all would be saved. But these men vie with one another in proclaiming that nothing is clear, all is chaos, that all man has is his lucidity and his definite knowledge of the walls surrounding him. All these experiences agree and confirm one another.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“We're all hurtling towards death. Yet here we are, for the moment, alive. Each of us knowing we're going to die. Each of us secretly believing we won't.”

“آمل أن يكون الوداع ساعة لا أكون
آمل أن تُقتل العصافير يوم أكون بعيدا
آمل أن يموت الأحباء يوم أكون على سفر
آمل كثيراً
لأن العين الدامعة تبكينى
وكم من شئ
أريد منه أن أتداري
لكن
لا مفر من الدموع”
― زياد الرحباني, صديقي الله

“أحببتك اكثر مما علموني في الصلاة
أنا ألف مرة يخطر ببالي
:أن أناديك بصوت بسيط
أين أنت يا ربي ؟”

قد تنزل علينا تأخذنا

ليتني لا اعرف ما أعرف !”

“اكتبوا على الأوراق
على اوراق الدفاتر
على اوراقالاشجار الصفر
اكتبوا على شبابيك الزواريب الطويلة
على اصغر الاحجر
احفروا في جذوع الاشجار
على ابواب البيوت المتهدمة
اكتبوا كل ما يخطر ببالكم
فاننا راحلوا !
اكتبوا”
― زياد الرحباني, صديقي الله

“Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you'll never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is: it's what you create. Even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved.”
― Charlie Kaufman, Synecdoche, New York: The Shooting Script

“Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.”
― Charlie Kaufman

“And the truth is I feel so angry, and the truth is I feel so fucking sad, and the truth is I've felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long I've been pretending I'm OK, just to get along, just for, I don't know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own. Well, fuck everybody. Amen.”
― Charlie Kaufman, Synecdoche, New York: The Shooting Script

“Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.”
