    “I used to think I was the strangest person in the world
    but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do
    I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too.
    well, I hope that if you are out there you read this and know that yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
    ― Rebecca Katherine Martin

    Ray Bradbury
    “If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

    أحمد عبد المجيد
    “يالك من صغيرٍ مسكين، وجدت نفسك في هذا العالم فجأة ولم تدرِ كيف تتصرف، أخذتَ تتخبط وترمق ما حولك بذعر، حاولتَ وفشلتَ ولمتَ نفسك، شعرت بالتهديد فتصنّعت القسوة، ظننتَ أن الآخرين سيتخلون عنك لو فشلت، فتركتَ كل شيء وحاولتَ أن تنجح بأقصر طريقٍ ممكن، لو كانت بداخلك أي قدراتٍ تمثيلية لجربت حظك في السينما، لو كانت لديك أي قدراتٍ فنية لحاولت أن ترسم أو تنحت التماثيل، كنت تريد الشهرة، أن يعرفك الناس ويعجبوا بك.. لأنهم إذا عرفوك وأعجبوا بك فسيحبوك، وحينها ستأمن شرَهم، ستمشي بينهم آمنًا مطمئنًا، لن يحاول أحدهم ضربك أو إيذاءك، لقد غلبك الخوف، فتعالَ إلى حضني لأمنحك الدفء والأمان”
