― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

“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

“فاندهش انت أيضا ياصديقى لكل ماتراه واسمعه فالدهشة بداية الطريق للمعرفة .. ووقود الحماس لمعرفة الحياة والأشياء .والمثقف الحقيقى هو من يعرف أنه لا يعرف الكثير ويريد أن يعرف الكثير .. والجاهل هو من لا يعرف انه لا يعرف حتى القليل ولا يريد أن يعرف المزيد.

والأخطر منهما هو من الذى يعرف أقل القليل ويتصور انه يعرف الكثير .."ويعذب" الآخرين بالقليل الذى يعرفه !.”

“When I was little and running on the race track at school, I always stopped and waited for all the other kids so we could run together even though I knew (and everybody else knew) that I could run much faster than all of them! I pretended to read slowly so I could "wait" for everyone else who couldn't read as fast as I could! When my friends were short I pretended that I was short too and if my friend was sad I pretended to be unhappy. I could go on and on about all the ways I have limited myself, my whole life, by "waiting" for people. And the only thing that I've ever received in return is people thinking that they are faster than me, people thinking that they can make me feel bad about myself just because I let them and people thinking that I have to do whatever they say I should do. My mother used to teach me "Cinderella is a perfect example to be" but I have learned that Cinderella can go fuck herself, I'm not waiting for anybody, anymore! I'm going to run as fast as I can, fly as high as I can, I am going to soar and if you want you can come with me! But I'm not waiting for you anymore.”
― C. JoyBell C.

― كريم الشاذلي, أفكار صغيرة لحياة كبيرة

And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected.

“We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the neverending contest in ourselves of good and evil.

“Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
