“أنا الأول , وأنا الآخر
أنا البغي , وأنا القديسة
أنا الزوجة , وأنا العذراء
أنا الأم , وأنا الابنة
أنا العاقر , وكثر هم أبنائي
أنا في عرس كبير ولم أتخذ زوجاً
أنا القابلة ولم أنجب أحداً
وأنا سلوة أتعاب حملي
أنا العروس وأنا العريس
وزوجي من أنجبني
أنا أم أبي , وأخت زوجي
وهو من نسلي”

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Life is hard, and children have to be told how hard life can be…So they will be sympathetic to others. So they will understand that some people have it harder than they do and that a trip through this world can be a wildly different experience, depending on what chemicals are raging through one’s mind.”

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”

She only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped, and you fell. All your tomorrows start here.”

“If men could see us as we really are, they would be a little amazed; but the cleverest, the acutest men are often under an illusion about women: they do not read them in a true light: they misapprehend them, both for good and evil: their good woman is a queer thing, half doll, half angel; their bad woman almost always a fiend.”

“ كثير من الناس لا ينتبهون إلى التفاصيل الصغيرة ، مع أن السر يكمن في تلك التفاصيل ، ولذلك تستطيع تقسيم البشر إلى فئتين ، قليلة تنظر فترى ، وأخرى كثيرة تنظر فلا ترى شيئاً غير ما أريدَ لها أن تراه ، ولكن في نهاية المطاف ، هكذا هي الحياة ، لا تستقيم من غير قلة خاصة وكثرة عامّة. ”
