“أحسد الأطفال الرضّع، لأنهم يملكون وحدهم حق الصراخ والقدرة عليه، قبل أن تروض الحياة حبالهم الصوتية، وتعلِّمهم الصمت”
― أحلام مستغانمي, ذاكرة الجسد

“سـ تتعلمين كيف تتخلين كل مرة عن شيء منك ..
كيف تتركين كل مرة أحداً .. أو مبدأ .. أو حلماً .. !
نحن نأتي الحياة كـ من ينقل أثاثه و أشياءه ..
محملين بـ المباديء .. مثقلين بـ الأحلام ..
محوطين بـ الأهل و الأصدقاء ..
ثم كلما تقدم بنا السفر ..
فقدنا شيئاً .. و تركنا خلفنا أحداً ..
لـ يبقى لنا في النهاية ما نعتقده الأهم .. !
و الذي أصبح كذلك .. لـ أنه تسلق سلم الأهميات ..
بعدما فقدنا ما كان منه أهم .. !!”
― أحلام مستغانمي, فوضى الحواس

“I can forgive and forget... it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things”
― M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
― William Shakespeare, As You Like It

“لماذا نحب كاتباً بالذات؟
لا لأنّه يُبهرنا بتفوقه علينا، بل لأنّه يُدهشنا بتشابهه معنا. لأنه يبوح لنا بخطاياه ومخاوفه وأسراره، التي ليست سوى أسرارنا. والتي لانملك شجاعة الاعتراف بها، حتى لهذا الكاتب نفسه.”

“Operation Self-Esteem--Day Fucking One.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“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 have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
