“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
― Mae West

“وقال: يا أمي أنا لا أستطيع العيش مع امرأة لا تملك مفتاحاً لعقلي ولا تشاركني اهتماماتي، إنها لا تقرأ شيئا ولا تريد أن تقرأ،لا تهتم بمشاكل اليوم وتسألني رأيي في مفرش جديد طرّزته، نحن نعيش في أيام عصيبة ولا يصح اليوم أن يقصر الإنسان اهتمامه علي بيته ووظيفته، ولا يفكر إلا في حياته الخاصة. أحتاج إلى شريكة أسكن إليها واثقا من تعاطفها معي، أصدقها عندما ترى أني أخطأت، تزيدني قوة عندما تقول إني على حق، شريكة أحبها وتحبني بدورها، لكني لا أرى فيما حولي سكنا ولا حبا، إنه نوع من تبادل المصالح بترخيص من الدين والمجتمع، وهذا ما لا أرضاه لنفسي.”

“But these were days of self-fulfillment, where settling for something that was not quite your first choice of a life seemed weak-willed and ignoble.

“Because life is like that, isn’t it? If you thought of all the tiny things that divert your path one way or another, some good, some bad, you’d never do anything ever again. And some people don’t. Some people go through life not really deciding to do much, not wanting to, always too fearful of the consequences to try something new. Of course, that in itself is also a decision.”
― Jenny Colgan, The Bookshop on the Corner

“It is easy to blur the truth with a simple linguistic trick: start your story from "Secondly." Yes, this is what Rabin did. He simply neglected to speak of what happened first. Start your story with "Secondly," and the world will be turned upside-down. Start your story with "Secondly," and the arrows of the Red Indians are the original criminals and the guns of the white men are entirely the victims. It is enough to start with "Secondly," for the anger of the black man against the white to be barbarous. Start with "Secondly," and Gandhi becomes responsible for the tragedies of the British.”
