“ولما بدا لي أنها لا تحبني * وأن هواها ليس عني بمنجل
تمنيت أن تهوى سوايَ لعلها * تذوق صبابات الهوى فترق لي
وما كان إلا عن قليلٍ وأشغفت * بحب غزال أدعج الطرف أكحلِ
فعذبها حتى أذاب فؤادها * وذوقها طعم الهوى والتدللِ
فقلت لها هذا بذاك فأطرقت * حياءً وقالت كل ظالم مبتلي !!!

“It's a nice big fat philosophical question, about: how do you get through? Sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It's not about that solution. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances. It's that, that makes it elegant. Good is just more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly, it may be horrible, but at the same time it's not a compelling idea. It's predictable. It needs a tuxedo, it needs a headline, it needs blood, it needs fingernails. It needs all that costume in order to get anybody's attention. But the opposite, which is survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are just more compelling intellectually if not spiritually, and they certainly are spiritually. This is a more fascinating job. We are already born, we are going to die. So you have to do something interesting that you respect in between.”
― Toni Morrison

“You must try,
the voice said, to become colder.
I understood at once.
It's like the bodies of gods: cast in bronze,
braced in stone. Only something heartless
could bear the full weight.”
― Jane Hirshfield
