    محمد بن إدريس الشافعي
    “إذا المرء لا يرعاك إلا تكلفاً.. فدعه ولا تُكثِر عليه التأسفا
    ففي الناس أبدال وفي الترك راحةٌ.. وفي القلب صبرٌ للحبيب ولو جفا
    فما كل من تهواه يهواكَ قلبُه.. ولا كل من صافيته لك قد صفا
    إذا لم يكن صفو الوداد طبيعةً.. فلا خيرَ في ودٍ يجئُ تكلٌفا
    ولا خيرَ في خِلٍ يخون خليله.. ويلقاهُ من بعدِ المودة بالجفا
    ويُنكِرُ عيشاً قد تقادم عهدهُ.. ويُظهِرُ سراً كان بالأمس قد خفا
    سلامٌ على الدنيا إذا لم يكن بها.. صديقٌ صدوقٌ صادقُ الوعدِ مُنصِفا”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    “بسم والينا المبجّل…
    قرروا شنق الذي اغتال أخي
    لكنه كان قصيراً
    فمضى الجلاد يسأل…: رأسه لا يصل الحبل
    فماذا سوف أفعل ؟… بعد تفكير عميق
    أمر الوالي بشنقي بدلاً منه
    لأني كنت أطول…”

    إبراهيم ناجي
    “قد رأيت الكون قبراً ضيقاً -خيم اليأس عليه والسكوت
    ورأت عيني أكاذيب الهوى واهيات كخيوط العنكبوت
    كنت ترثي لي، وتدري ألمي لو رثى للدمع تمثال صموت
    عند أقدامك دنيا تنتهي وعلى بابك آمال تموت”
