    Tom Stoppard
    “Words... They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good any more... I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

    عبلة الرويني
    “ظل الاطمئنان الكامل هو جوهر ما يبحث عنه أمل في علاقاته، ولهذا اتسمت صداقاته دائما بالمسافة التي تمنحه في لحظات الثقة امكانية الرؤية، وتمنعه من ذلك الالتصاق النفسي بأحد.. فهو لا يبحث عن سند خارج ذاته، بعد أن اكسبته مرارة الأيام قدرا كبيرا من انعدام الثقة.. وأكسبته أيضا درسا حول السفن الغارقة التي لا بد وأن يفر منها الآخرون.”

    “I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me. I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up, every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me.”

    Veronica Roth
    “There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

    But sometimes it doesn't.

    Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

    That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”

    “Yeah, sometimes life really sucks," she says. "But you know what I'm holding on for?"

    I raise my eyebrows.

    She raises hers, too, mimicking me.

    "The moments that don't suck," she says. "The trick is to notice them when they come around.”
