“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
― Kinky Friedman

“You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in a haste and the demons that won’t let you sleep.
You deserve a lover who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin.
You deserve a lover who wants to dance with you, who goes to paradise every time he looks into your eyes and never gets tired of studying your expressions.
You deserve a lover who listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn’t afraid to fall.
You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry.”
― Estefanía Mitre

“I wish I could do whatever I liked behind the curtain of “madness”. Then: I’d arrange flowers, all day long, I’d paint; pain, love and tenderness, I would laugh as much as I feel like at the stupidity of others, and they would all say: “Poor thing, she’s crazy!” (Above all I would laugh at my own stupidity.) I would build my world which while I lived, would be in agreement with all the worlds. The day, or the hour, or the minute that I lived would be mine and everyone else’s - my madness would not be an escape from “reality”.”
― Frida Kahlo

“كل الجروح ليها دوا يا طير يا حايم في الهوا..

اطوي الجناح على اللى الجراح واضحك ويلا نطير سوى

أنا مش حبيع الصدق بالأكاذيب

ولا أقولش للحمل الوديع يا ديب

ولا أقولش للديب يا أعز حبيب

الصدق مهما عز فى الازمه مش ههتز


ساعات يكون كتم الأنين أصدق

وأنا مهما أقع راح أقوم

ودي .. مسألة مبدأ”
― عبد الرحمن الأبنودي

“خايف من بكرة ليه
مين يعرف بُكره أيه
أنا مُش هبُص ورايا...
ولا أقول ...آه
مهما الأمل غاب...
العيون شايفاه...
اليأس مُش هيوصلك ..
ولو الهموم هتحصلك
مُش راح توقف الحياة....
ونخاف من بُكرة ليه
مين عارف بُكرة أيه
سيب اللي يكرهه ...يكره
وأنت أحلم ببُكره ...
مع أنو لسه مجاش ...
مهما تحاصرك همومك... ..ويلومك مين يلومك
لأ ...ماتعشهاش بلاش ...
لسه الورود بتشق براعمها
والفرحة بتلاعب نسايمها
ونخاف من بُكرة ليه
مين عارف ...بُكره أيه”
― عبد الرحمن الأبنودي

“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,
