“يا ناس يا عبط يا عشمانين..
ف فرصه تانيه للقا..
بطلوا اوهام بقي..
وكفايه أحلام واسمعوا..
عيشوا بذمه و ودعوا..
كل حاجة بتعملوها..
وكل حد بتشوفوه..
وكل كلمه بتقولوها..
وكل لحن بتسمعوه..
عيشوا المشاهد... كل مشهد..
زي مايكون الأخير..
واشبعوا ساعة الوداع ….
واحضنوا الحاجه بـضمير..
دا اللي فاضل مش كتير ….
اللي فاضل..
مش كتير”
― مصطفى إبراهيم, ويسترن يونيون فرع الهرم

― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

― Friedrich Nietzsche

“مفيش احساس لحسن الحظ و لسوئه مبيعديش .. مفيش ولا طعم حاجة من اللى بتدوقه مسيره يعيش .. بحلوه و بمره كله بيتسخط لمفيش
يا سبحان اللى بيعودنا ع الحاجة فننساها .. و بيخفف كاسات الناس بميه بدال ما يملاها .. عشان طعم اللى فيها يروح .. عشان طعم اللى فيها يجف
يقولوا مجازا المجروح اذا خد ع الوجع .. بيخف .... تلف عليه سواقى الكون تدوب اللى فات ف الجاى
فسبحانه لما قال منها جعلنا ( كل شئ حى )”
― مصطفى إبراهيم, المانيفستو

“But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“A lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain anything without sacrificing something else in return, but once you have overcome it and made it your own...you will gain an irreplaceable fullmetal heart.”
― Hiromu Arakawa

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.”
― Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
― Jim Morrison

“This is the strangest life I have ever known.”
― Jim Morrison

“One must learn to love.— This is what happens to us in music: first one has to learn to hear a figure and melody at all, to detect and distinguish it, to isolate it and delimit it as a separate life; then it requires some exertion and good will to tolerate it in spite of its strangeness, to be patient with its appearance and expression, and kindhearted about its oddity:—finally there comes a moment when we are used to it, when we wait for it, when we sense that we should miss it if it were missing: and now it continues to compel and enchant us relentlessly until we have become its humble and enraptured lovers who desire nothing better from the world than it and only it.— But that is what happens to us not only in music: that is how we have learned to love all things that we now love. In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fairmindedness, and gentleness with what is strange; gradually, it sheds its veil and turns out to be a new and indescribable beauty:—that is its thanks for our hospitality. Even those who love themselves will have learned it in this way: for there is no other way. Love, too, has to be learned.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“إنني أستعرض جميع ما كُتب، فلا تميل نفسي إلا إلى ما كتبه الإنسان بقطرات دمه ،، اكتب بدمك فتعلم حينئذ أن الدم روح ، وليس بالسهل أن يفهم الإنسان دماً غريباً”
― فريدريك نيتشه, هكذا تكلم زرادشت

“أفي المجد أنت طامع؟
تقبّل هذه الموعظة إذن:
في الوقت المناسب، احْسن التخلي طوعا
عن الأمجاد!”
― فريدريك نيتشه

“The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees.”
― Proust, Marcel

“But you cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it, just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To “have” running water you must let go of it and let it run.”
― Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
― Albert Einstein

“I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.”
― Alan J. Perlis, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”
― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.”
― Jim Morrison
