“هل لاحظت معى ان أكثر الناس فراغاً هم أكثرهم ضيقاً بالحياة وافتقاداً للسعادة ؟.. هل تعرف السبب ؟ .. أنا أعرفه .. لأن من أكثر أسباب شقاء الإنسان ضيق أفقه وكثرة انشغاله بنفسه وتفكيره فيها باستمرار كما لو كانت محور الكون .. ومن يشكون الفراغ لا يجدون ماينشغلون به سوى أنفسهم , وكلما ازداد انشغال أحدهم بنفسه رآها جديرة بحياة غير حياته”
― عبد الوهاب مطاوع

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. If you need the medication again, go ahead and take it—I will love you through that, as well. If you don’t need the medication, I will love you, too. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“إنني شقيٌ مذ ولدت يا إدوار .. فأنا أحب الأشقياء وأعطف عليهم ؛ لأنني واحدٌ منهم ، ولا صداقة في الدنيا أمتن ولا أوثق من صداقة الفقر والفاقة ، ولا رابطة تجمع بين القلبين المختلفين مثل رابطة البؤس والشقاء ، فلو أنني خيرت بين صحبة رجلين أحدهما فقير يضم فاقته إلى فاقتي فيضاعفها ، وثانيهما غنيُ يمد يده لمعونتي فيرفه عني ما أنا فيه من شدة وبلاء ، لآثرت أولهما على ثانيهما ؛ لأن الفقير يتخذني صديقاً ، والغني يتخذني عبداً .. وأنا إلى الحرية أحوج مني إلى المال .”
― مصطفى لطفي المنفلوطي, ماجدولين
