“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure you hands are clean!”
― Bob Marley

“Books fall open, you fall in.”
― David T.W. McCord

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“ولكنني متأكد من شئ واحد على الأقل،هو قيمتك عندي..أنا لم أفقد صوابي بك بعد، ولذلك فأنا الذي أعرف كم أنت أذكى وأنبل وأجمل.لقد كنت في بدني طوال الوقت، في شفتي، في عيني وفي رأسي. كنت عذابي وشوقي والشيء الرائع الذي يتذكره الإنسان كي يعيش ويعود..إن لي قدرة لم أعرف مثلها في حياتي على تصورك ورؤيتك.. وحين أرى منظراً أو أسمع كلمة أو أعلق عليها بيني وبين نفسي أسمع جوابك في أذني، كأنك واقفة إلى جواري ... ويدك في يدي”
― غسان كنفاني, رسائل غسان كنفاني إلى غادة السمان

“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“I know he's dead! Don't you think I know that? I can still like him, though, can't I? Just because somebody's dead, you don't just stop liking them, for God's sake — especially if they were about a thousand times nicer than the people you know that're alive and all.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“All I ever really want to know is how other people are making it through life—where do they put their body, hour by hour, and how do they cope inside of it.”

“She didn't know that I was dead inside, that I had ruled out the chance of joy ever again. Of that night and every other night to follow. I had fully settled into my unhappiness and wore it comfortably. So comfortably in fact, that it was barely perceptible to others. It just fitted me so well. My suit of misery hung happily on me. So happily that she assumed I could have "a lovely night" in it. The loveliness she referred to was so extremely far out of reach for me. It as far as... the bloody moon.”
― Dawn French, Oh Dear Silvia

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.”

“يمكن لو في بيني وبينك حكي .. كنا حكينا
يمكن لو في بيني وبينك دمع .. كنا بكينا
لو كان في طريق تودّي شوّي شوّي .. كنا مشينا
أو كان في شي درب يوصّل بيني وبينك .. كنا لقينا

يمكن لو كان في بيني وبينك قصص .. كنا قرينا
يمكن لو كان في بيني وبينك صلاة .. كنا دعينا
لو كان في طريق تودّي شوي شوي .. كنا مشينا
أو كان في شي درب يوصّل .. كنا لقينا

يمكن لو في بيني وبينك حلم .. كنا غفينا
يمكن لو في بيني وبينك سلْم .. كنا نسينا
لو كان في طريق تودّي شوّي شوّي .. كنا مشينا
أو كان في شي درب يوصّل بيني وبينك .. كنا لقينا

يمكن في نغمة وحدة بيني وبينك عم بتعيد
يمكن في ناس كتيري بيني وبينك ما بتفيد
يمكن في قمر أو في شجر أو شي جسر حديد
يمكن في سهل أو في جبل أو في شي وادي بعيد
يمكن في طريق جديد بيني وبينك.. نحنا مش شايفينا”
― تانيا صالح

“دائما أنتِ في المنتصف!
أنتِ بيني وبين كتابي ..
بيني وبين فراشي ..
وبيني وبين هدوئي ..
وبيني وبين الكلام!
ذكرياتك سجني وصوتك يجلدني
وأنا بين الشوارع وحدي
وبين المصابيح وحدي!
أتصبب بالحزن بين قميصي وجلدي!
ودمي: قطرة -بين عينيكِ- ليست تجف!
فامنحيني السلام!
امنحيني السلام!”
― أمل دنقل

السماواتُ البعيدةُ من رسائلَ”
― محمود درويش, جدارية

“إكرامُ بعض الأمواتِ أن تَذكُرهُم كأنهم ما ماتوا ، وإكرامُ بعض الأحياءِ أَن تَنساهُم كأنهم ما كانوا”
