“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”

“Here's why I will be a good person. Because I listen. I cannot talk, so I listen very well. I never deflect the course of the conversation with a comment of my own. People, if you pay attention to them, change the direction of one another's conversations constantly. It's like being a passenger in your car who suddenly grabs the steering wheel and turns you down a side street. For instance, if we met at a party and I wanted to tell you a story about the time I needed to get a soccer ball in my neighbor's yard but his dog chased me and I had to jump into a swimming pool to escape, and I began telling the story, you, hearing the words "soccer" and "neighbor" in the same sentence, might interrupt and mention that your childhood neighbor was Pele, the famous soccer player, and I might be courteous and say, Didn't he play for the Cosmos of New York? Did you grow up in New York? And you might reply that, no, you grew up in Brazil on the streets of Tres Coracoes with Pele, and I might say, I thought you were from Tennessee, and you might say not originally, and then go on to outline your genealogy at length. So my initial conversational gambit - that I had a funny story about being chased by my neighbor's dog - would be totally lost, and only because you had to tell me all about Pele. Learn to listen! I beg of you. Pretend you are a dog like me and listen to other people rather than steal their stories.”
― Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain

― ساره عاشور

“ولقد يكون في الدنيا ما يُغني الواحد من الناس عن أهل الأرض كافّة.. ولكن الدنيا بما وسعت لا يمكن أبدا أن تغني محبا عن الواحد الذي يحبه! هذا الواحد له حساب عجيب غير حساب العقل.. فإن الواحد في الحساب العقلي أول العدد.. أما في الحساب القلبي فهو أول العدد وآخره .. ليس بعده آخـِـر إذ ليس معه آخـَر”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد

“أريدها لا تعرفني ولا أعرفها، لا من شيءٍ إلا لأنها تعرفني وأعرفها.. تتكلم ساكتةً وأرد عليها بسكوتي. صمتٌ ضائعٌ كالعبث ولكن له في القلبين عمل كلامٍ طويل”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد

“أترى يا قلبي كأن مدينة الحياة في النهار بصراعها وهمومها تحتاج إلى قفر طبيعي يفر إليه أهل القلوب الرقيقة بضع ساعات، فلذلك يخلق لهم القمر صحراء واسعة من الضوء يجدون فيها بعد تلك المادية الجياشة المصطخبة، روحانية الكون وروح العزلة وسكينة الضمير ويبدو فيها كل ما يقع عليه النور كأنه حي ساكن بفكر”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
― Stephen King

“there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.”
― Stephen King, Different Seasons

“Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.”
― Stephen King, Different Seasons

“It always comes down to just two choices. Get busy living, or get busy dying.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“هل يمكن يا جدتي أن يحدس القلب بشيء قبل وقوعه أو تعرُّف العقل عليه أو حتى التفكير فيه؟”
― رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

“يا طالباً طريق السر تقصده * ارجع وراءك فيك السر و السنن”
― رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

“الزمن يجلو الذاكرة كأنه الماء تغمر الذهب فيه, يوما أو ألف عام فتجده في قاع لنهر يلتمع. لا يفسد الماء سوى المعدن الرخيص, يصيب السطح ساعة فيعلوه الصدأ.”
― رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

“ما الخطأ في أن يتعلق الغريق بلوح خشب أو عود أو قشة؟ ما الجرم في أن يصنع لنفسه قنديلاً مزججاً و ملوناً لكي يتحمل عتمة ألوانه؟”
― رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

1. Life's metaphors are God's instructions.

“لا تحكم على الطريقة التى يتواصل بها الناس مع الله , فلكل أمرئ طريقته و صلاته الخاصة . ان الله لا يأخذنا بكلمتنا , بل ينظر فى أعماق قلوبنا . و ليست المناسك أو الطقوس هى التى تجعلنا مؤمنين , بل ان كانت قلوبنا صافية ام لا .”
― Elif Shafak The Forty Rules of Love

“حياتك حافلة، مليئة، كاملة، أو هكذا يخيل إليك، حتى يظهر فيها شخص يجعلك تدرك ما كنت تفتقده طوال هذا الوقت.
مثل مرآة تعكس الغائب لا الحاضر، تريك الفراغ فى روحك، الفراغ الذى كنت تقاوم رؤيته.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“May I see you again?" he asked. There was an endearing nervousness in his voice.

I smiled. "Sure."

"Tomorrow?" he asked.

"Patience, grasshopper," I counseled. "You don't want to seem overeager.

"Right, that's why I said tomorrow," he said. "I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow." I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious," he said.

"You don't even know me," I said. I grabbed the book from the center console. "How about I call you when I finish this?"

"But you don't even have my phone number," he said.

"I strongly suspect you wrote it in this book."

He broke out into that goofy smile. "And you say we don't know each other.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
"You do care," said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
