    “سألتقيك في 2016 ربما ...في مصعد في مدينة ما !!.. زاد وزنك قليلا ، صرت أقل جمالا ، ربما !!... ستقولين صباح الخير ...وسأكتفي بأيمائة من رأسي ... سيحمر وجهك قليلا ..وسأتظاهر بالبحث عن شيء ما في جيوبي ... ستخرجين مسرعة ...وسأمضي بقية يومي وأنا أحك قلبي برائحتك !

    *”

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.”
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

    “Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to choose.
    Robin McKinley, Sunshine

    “Some women feel the need to act like they're never scared, needy or hurt; like they're as hardened as a man. I think that's dishonest. It's ok to feel delicate sometimes. Real beauty is in the fragility of your petals. A rose that never wilts isn't a rose at all.”
    Crystal Woods, Write like no one is reading 3

    Et je ne laisserais jamais rien t'arriver non plus. Je t'aime.”

    “Women Are Not Roses

    Women have no
    beginning
    only continual
    flows.

    Though rivers flow
    women are not
    rivers.

    Women are not
    roses
    they are not oceans
    or stars.

    i would like to tell
    her this but
    i think she
    already knows.”
    Ana Castillo, Women Are Not Roses

    Pablo Neruda
    “Here I love you.
    In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
    The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
    Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

    The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
    A silver gull slips down from the west.
    Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.
    Oh the black cross of a ship.
    Alone.


    Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
    Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
    This is a port.

    Here I love you.
    Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
    I love you still among these cold things.
    Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
    that cross the sea towards no arrival.
    I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.

    The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
    My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
    I love what I do not have. You are so far.
    My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
    But night comes and starts to sing to me.

    The moon turns its clockwork dream.
    The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
    And as I love you, the pines in the wind
    want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.
    Pablo Neruda”
    Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

    Neil Gaiman
    “I think I fell in love with her, a little bit. Isn't that dumb? But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest, dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they'll still love you, because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon, she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something; I don't know. She probably didn't even know I was there. But I'll always love her. All my life.”
    Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 8: Worlds' End

    “I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else.”
    Joshua Slocum, Sailing Alone around the World

    Lord Byron
    “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not man the less, but Nature more”
    Lord Byron
