“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.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
― Robert Frost

“أتدرون ما يحملنا على التعلق بالحياة ..!
أتعرفون ماذا يشدنا إليها ويخيفنا من الخروج منها ..!

إنه شيء واحد .. هو صلتنا بمن حولنا
هو حبهم لنا, وحبنا لهم
إننا نكره أن نغادرها ..
لأننا نخشى ألم الفرقة ومرارتها !”
― يوسف السباعي

“يا بنيتي.. لا تأمني إلى القدر،كوني قوية وشجاعة، عوّدي نفسك الرضا بالواقع واقبلي ما تعطين.. لا تكثري من الآمال .. فوظيفة القدر هي أن يخيب آمالنا..حاولي ألا تعطيه الفرصة للشماتة.. لا تطلبي شيئا،بل انتظري حتى يعطيك هو،وابتسمي شاكرة حتى تخيبي أمله بدل أن يخيب هو أملك”
― يوسف السباعى
