“Recipes are just descriptions of one person’s take on one moment in time. They’re not rules.”
― Mario Batali

“There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.”
― Charles Bukowski

“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime...”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“أن تكون للحياة نهارات أخرى، شموس أخرى وأقمار حتى ولو عند حافة العالم، لكن كيف نبلغ تلك الحافة التي تنتهي عندها اللاطمأنينة؟ جرَّب مواطنونا حافَّات وآفاقاً أُخرى لم ينجحوا في بلوغها بعد، تُرى متي يأتي النهار الذي نبلغ فيه حافة جديدة آمنة تُصبح وطناً بديلاً لنا؟ وطنٌ يرضاه لنا الرب بعد أن انتزع منا وطننا كسيَّاف عملاق بتر عضواً حيوياً لِثائر نَدِم على ثورته فليته يُعيد العضو الذي بتره ونُكمم أفواهنا نهائياً فلا نهتف بإسقاط النظام أو حتى انتقاده”
― عبد السلام إبراهيم, جماعة الرب
