“There has never been a time in which I have been convinced from within myself that I am alive. You see, I have only such a fugitive awareness of things around me that I always feel they were once real and are now fleeting away. I have a constant longing, my dear sir, to catch a glimpse of things as they may have been before they show themselves to me. I feel that they were calm and beautiful. It must be so, for I often hear people talking about them as though they were.”
― Franz Kafka

“أَما وَالَّذي يَتلو السَرائِرَ كُلَّها. . وَيَعلَمُ ما تُبدي بِهِ وَتَغيبُ
لَقَد كُنتِ مِمَّن تَصطَفي النَفسُ خُلَّةً . . لَها دونَ خِلّانِ الصَفاءِ حُجوبُ
وَإِنّي لَأَستَحيِيكِ حَتّى كَأَنَّما . . عَلَيَّ بِظَهرِ الغَيبِ مِنكِ رَقيبُ
تَلَجّينَ حَتّى يَذهَبَ اليَأسُ بِالهَوى . . وَحَتّى تَكادَ النَفسُ عَنكِ تَطيبُ
سَأَستَعطِفُ الأَيامَ فيكِ لَعَلَّها . . بِيَومِ سُروري في هَواكِ تَؤوبُ”
― قيس بن الملوح
