“كم شعرت في تلك اللحظة بالعجز والضعف ... كم تمنيت لو كسرت ذلك الذي يكبل عنقي وألقيته بعيدا... لا أتحدث عن كبت الناس والمجتمع فتلك أمور ضعيفة واهية أمام إرادة عازمة واثقة... لكنها الأسوار والجدران التي أخذت ابنيها حولي قلبي حتى كبلته ... شعرت وكأن أميالا تفصلني عما تمنيته في حياتي ... شعرت بأحلامي تطير بعيدا مع تلك الطيور وتبتعد عنى وكأنها قد ملت تخاذلي وتقصيري في حقها ... وددت لو رجوتها أن تنتظرني ... تمهلني الوقت كي ألملم شتات نفسي وأحلق ورائها ... لا ادري إن كانت تسمعني أم لا ... لكنها كما عهدتها دائما تسامحني كلما قصرت بحقها وتبقى بجانبي ممنية نفسها أن أفيق يوما ما ...”

“وضعوني في اناء
ثم قالو لي تأقلم
وانا لست بماء
انا من طين السماء
واذا ضاق انائي بنموي …يتحطم
خيروني ..
بين موت وبقاء
بين ان ارقص فوق الحبل
او ارقص تحت الحبل
فاخترت البقاء
قلت : اعدم
فاخنقوابالحبل صوت الببغاء
وامدوني بصمت ابدي يتكلم”
― أحمد مطر

“The world is filled with human toxins -- not the darkness that we all occasionally crave, but actually people who are so unwilling to bask in the angelic light that is offered us all that they grow poisonous -- and you can pray for their eventual recovery and healing.

But sometimes these individuals have been vaccinated against goodness and against angels and they are so unwilling to give an inch to their God that often they never (and I use this expression absolutely literally) see the light.”
― Chris Bohjalian, Secrets of Eden

― Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

“The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur.

― Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
