“لماذا يجب أن تتزوجي رجلا يقرأ؟؟


تزوجي رجلا يقرأ لأنه سيراك كتابا مقدسا يتلوه طرفي النهار و زلفى من الليل. أو كتابا نادرا يملك وحده مخطوطته الضائعة..يقلب صفحاته بحذر خشية أن تتمزق..
تزوجي رجلا يقرأ لأنه سيحاول جاهدا أن يثبت لك في أول لقاء لكما أن شوبنهاور أحسن من هيغل بدل أن يسعى إلى استمالتك ببضع كلمات حب، ليس لأنه لا يجيدها ،إنما لأنك أنت قصيدته التي لا يريدها أن تنتهي
تزوجي رجلا يقرأ لأنه سيسافر بك إلى مدن لم يزرها وأزمنة لم يشهدها..ستعيشان حبكما في زمن الكوليرا..سيأخذك لزيارة "الحي اللاتيني" ليعرفك على "البؤساء"، سيطير بك "في سماء كوبنهاغن" و يخبرك عن " خفة الكائن التي لا تحتمل".. ستمران على " تاجر البندقية" في بحثكما عن "لقيطة اسطنبول"..و في "زقاق المدق" ستلتقين " أولاد حارتنا"..ستشهدين معه أزمنة " الحرب و السلام" و تسافرين " في قطار الشرق السريع" إلى " سمرقند" و في طريقكما ستنبهرين إذ يريك " ألف شمس مشرقة".. و على "باب الشمس" سيهديك "طوق الياسمين" و يعبر بك إلى " الألف" و سيلقنك هناك "قواعد العشق الأربعون" كوردٍ صوفي..سيقيم على شرفك " وليمة من أعشاب البحر" يدعو إليها "زوربا" و " دون كيشوت" و "آنا كارنينا"و "هاملت"..سيكتفي بك وحدك لـ" مائة عام من العزلة"و لا يستبدلك بـ "فتاة من ورق" ستهب عليكما " رياح الجنوب" فتضيعان في "فوضى الحواس"..لكن لأنه يقرأ سيجد " نجمة" يهتدي بها.
إن تزوجتي رجلا يقرأ فاستعدي لأن تكوني أما لعمر الخيام و نظام الملك و آق شمس الدين و مالك بن نبي و اشكري حظك لأن إدارة المستشفى رفضت أن يحمل أبناءك أسماء كبورخيس و هاروكي و نيرودا و اوشو..لكن دعي له أيضا فرصة اختيار أسماء البنات لأنه سيختار حتما أسماء الملكات " زنوبيا" أو " بلقيس" أو ربما أسماء مدن من التاريخ "قرطبة" أو " إشبيلية" أو في أسوء الأحوال أسماء لروايات " لوليتا" أو "بريدا"
تزوجي رجلا يقرأ، فإنه يمتلك في رصيده من كلام الغزل ما يكفيك عمرا..قد يغازلك بشعر صوفي لابن الفارض أو بأبيات ماجنة لابن الرومي..
إن تزوجتي رجلا يقرأ فلا تقاطعيه أثناء قراءته لكتاب و لا تنزعجي من ردة فعله إن قاطعته، فبعد أن ينتهي من القراءة سيمسك يدك و يرحل بك إلى أماكن لم تخلق بعد و أزمنة لم توجد و هناك سيتوجك ملكة .
تزوجي رجلا يقرأ لأنك ستكونين محرابه و سجادة صلاته فيعلمك رقصة " سماع"..و في أحيان أخرى ستكونين زجاجة خمره و ثمالة كأسه و سيرقص معك رقصة "زوربا".
تزوجي رجلا يقرأ و لا تستغربي إن كان يحمل كتابا ثم رفعه قليلا ليغطي به وجهه، و اعلمي حينها أن دمعة ترقرقت في عينه لأن مقطعا ما قد فرك قلبه.
إن تزوجتي رجلا يقرأ لا تستغربي إن كانت مكتبة بيتكما مليئة و الثلاجة فارغة ..فهو يؤمن أننا خلقنا لنقرأ لا لنأكل .
إن تزوجتي رجلا يقرأ فبإمكانك دائما أن تصالحيه بكتاب أو حتى سطر من كتاب .. فقط اختاري الأحسن.
تزوجيه يقرأ، و سيطلع أبناءك في سن مبكرة على النص الكامل لـ "أليس في بلاد العجائب" و "رحلة غوليفر".
إن أردتي أن تعيش أكثر من حياة و في أكثر من مكان فتزوجي رجلا يقرأ..

و الأفضل من ذلك تزوجي رجلا يكتب.”

“You should date a girl who reads.
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”
― Rosemarie Urquico

“ينعتون الأنثى بالمخلوُق الأعّوج"
"وَهم عَلى اعوجاج خصّرها يتقاتلوُن”
― نزار قبّاني

“في البداية تلتقي بشخص؛ شخص يختلف اختلافًا تامًا عن جميع من حولك من الأشخاص. شخص يرى كل شيء بمنظار مختلف، ويجعلك تُغيّر منظورك، وتلاحظ كل شيء من جديد، من الداخل ومن الخارج؛ ويُخيّل إليك أن بإمكانك الإبقاء على مسافة آمنة بينك وبينه؛ ويُخيّل إليك أنك تستطيع أن تُبحر وتشق طريقك في خضم هذه العاصفة الجميلة، حتى تدرك بغتةً أنه ألقى بك إلى العراء ولا يمكنك أن تتحكم بذلك.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley

“انتبه ..وراءك أعمى" يقولها الرجل لصاحبه ، يسمعها هو فستقر بداخله ..
فالكل يراه و هو الأعمى..
الجميع يرى شكله و يعرفونه أكثر منه ..هل يجوز له أن يسألهم " كيف أنا؟؟" ..قد يقولون " انت أشقر"
ربما سيرتاح عندما يعرف كيف هو ..إذ انه أشقر ..لكن الفجيعة انه لا يدرك ما معنى أشقر ..الكلمة لا توحي بشيء عنده‼
فيفجع مرتين ..مرة أنه لا يعرف هيئته ومرة انه لا يدرك أصلا معناها..
يعود إلى البيت..تفتح له والدته الباب " اهلا يا نور عيني" تقول
يرد بازدراء :" نور عينك لا يبصر"
" نور عيني لا يرى ، لكنه يبصر..و البصر نور ينبع من هنا ..من القلب ، ما معنى ان تكون لك عينان و لا ترى الفقير ، و ما معنى ان تكون لك عينان تشيحهما عن المظلوم، و ما معنى أن تكون لك عينان و لا ترى إلا الأبيض و الأسود..ما فائدة ان تدرك ان السماء زرقاء و قلبك يا ولدي أسود..
نحن نرى بذلك النور الذي ينبع في اعماقنا ، فيتقد في اعيننا ..و ان لا ترى بعينيك لا يعني أنك اعمى ، بل ان النور بداخلك كان أقوى و أسطع من أن تتحمله قدرة عينيك يا ولدي"
عند سماعه لكلامها هذا ، أحس لأول مرة أنه يراها ، بل رآها حقيقة و كانت في جمال شعلة الأولمب.. فأنارته و استنار ظله”

“Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.”
― Rose Wilder Lane

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me.”
― Bob Marely

“Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.”
― Alfred Tennyson

“What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

“ويكفي أننا يوماً .. تلاقينا بلا استئذانْ”
― فاروق جويدة, شيء سيبقى بيننا

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

“إن قطعة الخبز تبدو لنا دائما أكبر مما هي في الواقع حين نراها في يد غيرنا”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“Don’t fall in love with a woman who reads, a woman who feels too much, a woman who writes...
Don’t fall in love with an educated, magical, delusional, crazy woman. Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks, who knows what she knows and also knows how to fly; a woman sure of herself.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries making love, knows how to turn her spirit into flesh; let alone one that loves poetry (these are the most dangerous), or spends half an hour contemplating a painting and isn't able to live without music.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics and is rebellious and feel a huge horror from injustice. One who does not like to watch television at all. Or a woman who is beautiful no matter the features of her face or her body.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is intense, entertaining, lucid and irreverent. Don’t wish to fall in love with a woman like that. Because when you fall in love with a woman like that, whether she stays with you or not, whether she loves you or not, from a woman like that, you never come back.”
― Martha Rivera-Garrido

“If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it, do it, don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever.”
― One Tree Hill

“At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, that war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world. 6 billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one.”
― One Tree Hill

“What was she like?"
I tell the truth.
"She was my dream. She made me who I am, and holding her in my arms was more natural to me than my own heartbeat. I think about her all the time. Even now, when I'm sitting here, I think about her. There could never be another.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“Toward the end of their relationship she'd told him once, "I wish I could give you what you're looking for, but I don't know what it is. There's a part of you that you keep closed off from everyone, including me. Its as if I'm not the one you're really with. Your mind is on someone else." He tried to deny it, but she didn't believe him. "I'm a woman - I know these things. When you look at me sometimes, I know you're seeing someone else. Its like you keep waiting for her to pop out of thin air to take you away from all this...”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“إستيقظ فنصف الصباح فاتك
- و نصف الحياة كذلك -
إستيقظ لتلتقط - في ظل الشركات العملاقة - فُتاتك”
― Houssein Ben Amor
