“You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.”
― Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

“لآ تذهب ، لآ تحضُر
لآ تقترب ، لآ تبتعد
لآ تهجرني ، لآ تلتصق بي
لآ تضيعني ، لآ تؤطرني

لآ يلتقيان ، لكنهما أيضًا لآ يفترقان”
― غادة السمان, الحب من الوريد إلى الوريد

“لآ أستطيع أن أقول لك :
أحبك
فقد شاهدتُ هذه الكلمة
تُطارد على الأرصفة كالغواني
وتُجلد في الساحات العامة ، كالبغايا
وتُطرد من المُدن ، كمرضى الجُذام !
_
لآ أستطيع أن أقول لك :
أحبك
فقد سمعتُ هذه الكلمة
تُلفظ في الحانات ، مع هذر السُكارى !
_
وحين تهربُ كلمة " أحبك " إلى الشوارع
يُطاردها الناس ويرجمونها بالحصى
ثم يقتادونها إلى مصح عقلي !
_
لآ أستطيع أن أقول لك :
أحبك
حتى لآ يوسخها أصدقاؤنا الألداء بنكاتهم وتظارفهم ، وهي في طريقها إليك !
_
لآ أستطيع أن أقول لك :
أحبك
لكني أستطيع كتابة الكلمة بشفتيّ
فوق جبينك ، بصمت
وأنت نائم
لتلتقطها أصابع أحلآمك !”
― غادة السمان, الحب من الوريد إلى الوريد

“و أحلم ,
أحلم أيضا بلحظة أجلس فيها وحيدة
و أنفرد بقلبي
بعيدا عن ذكرياتنا الحارة و الموجعة
كجسد صبية ماتت للتو على صدر حبيبها-
و أنفرد بقلبي
بعيدا عن عشقي الكاره لها
كي أسمع صوت ذاتي
الذي أضاعته الأصوات الأخرى
لحبي لك , و لكراهتي لك ! ...”
― غادة السمان, الحب من الوريد إلى الوريد

“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
