“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley

“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

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”
― Maya Angelou

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“الرجولة... في تعريفها الأجمل تختصرها مقولة كاتب فرنسي " الرجل الحقيقي ليس من يغري أكثر من امرأة بل الذي يغري أكثر من مرّة المرأة نفسها ".. التي تؤمن بأنّ العذاب ليس قدر المحبّين و لا الدمار ممرًّا حتميًّا لكلّ حبّ و لا كلّ امرأة يمكن تعويضها بأخرى”

“لا أعرف غير الصيام فريضة، توسع الصدر، و تقوّي الإرادة، و تزيل أسباب الهم، و تعلو بصاحبها إلى أعلى المنازل. فيكبر المرء في عين نفسه. و يصغر حينها كلّ شيء في عينه. حالة من السموّ الروحي، لا يبلغها إلّا من يتأمّل في حكمة الله من وراء هذه الفريضة.”

“You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise!”
― Maya Angelou

“ثمة رجال لا تكسبينهم إلا بالخسارة. عندما ستنسينه حقاً، سيتذكرك، ذلك أننا لا ننسى خساراتنا”

― Maya Angelou

“يقول أنطونيو بورشيا، القديس:
‏أحيانًا يهجرني كل شيء، ولكي يعود إليّ كل شيء، علي أن أنصرف.
وأنا أشعر بأن هذا ما علي فعله دائما.. أن أنصرف.
- رغم أن قلبي ليس قديسًا زاهدًا، إن إحدى أزماته بالأساس أنه لا يزهد الأشياء بالمرة. بينما تخذله وتهجره الأشياء على إيقاعات مختلفة. - ‏ببساطة أتصالح مع حقيقة أن كل ما أحببت خذلني.
‏لا أحد يتخلى عن الأشياء التي يتوق لوجودها إلا بعدما يجرحهُ الحفاظ عليها.
هكذا صرت، أنا الشخص الذي يصل إلى عتبة الباب المقصود ثم يستدير ويعود بخُطى ثابتة، لأنه شعر بأن لا الوقت مناسب ولا الباب يستحق الطرق.
أنا أيضا، أحيانًا يهجرني كل شيء، ولكي يعود إليّ كل شيء، علي أن أنصرف.”
― أسما حسين

“أُريد أن أتعلم منك فلسفتك في الحياة ..

يضحك قائلاً :

أنا أُعلمك فلسفة الحياة ..؟

أنتِ تطلبين أمراً مُستحيلاً ..!!
أنا أُعطيكِ رؤوس أقلام فقط ..
نحن لا نتعلم الحياة من الآخرين
نتعلمها من خدوشنا ,
ومن كل ما يبقى منّا أرضاً بعد سقوطنا ووقوفنا ..!!”

“Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.”

“My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.”
― Maya Angelou

“كلّما أقبلت على الله خاشعة. صَغُرَ كلّ شيء حولك و في قلبك. فكلّ تكبيرة بين يدي الله تعيد ما عداه إلى حجمه الأصغر. تذكّرك أن لا جبار إلّا الله، و أنّ كلّ رجل متجبّر، حتى في حبّه، هو رجل قليل الإيمان متكبّر. فالمؤمن رحوم حنون بطبعه لأنّه يخاف الله.ـ”
