“Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired.
Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.
Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy.
Trust, even when your heart begs you not to.
Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.
Frolick, even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring.
Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more.
And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.”
― Alysha Speer

“I miss your smile… but I miss mine more.”

“We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing. But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything. In his eyes, there was no trace of what had happened between us earlier and I could feel something inside me break.
So that was that. We were finally, finally over.
I looked at him, and I felt so sad, because this thought occurred to me: 'I will never look at you the same way again. I'll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.'
I couldn’t even be mad at him, because this was who he was. This was who he’d
always been. He’d never lied about that. He gave and then he took away. I felt it in the pit of my stomach, the familiar ache, that lost, regretful feeling only he could give me. I never wanted to feel it again. Never, ever.
Maybe this was why I came, so I could really know. So I could say good-bye.
I looked at him, and I thought, 'If I was very brave or very honest, I would tell him.'
I would say it, so he would know it and I would know it, and I could never take it back. But I wasn’t that brave or honest, so all I did was look at him. And I think he knew anyway.
'I release you. I evict you from my heart. Because if I don't do it now, I never will.'
I was the one to look away first.”
― Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without You

“Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!”
― Jocelyn Soriano, Mend My Broken Heart

“Love simply is.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable. You don't need to do that because you know it already. And when you doubt it — which happens, I think, quite often at this stage of evolution — do as I suggested. Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it. Now go back and meet all those people who think you know everything. Convince yourself that they're right, because we all know everything, it's merely a question of believing.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“Because all my life I've learned to suffer in silence - Athena”

“When we venture in that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“حياة اخترتها إيماناً منى بأن الحب ينتصر على كل شئ ،ليس صحيحاً . أحياناً يرمى بنا الحب إلى الهاوية ،ولزيادة الطين بلّة ،يرمى معنا من نحبهم”

“لعل الأشياء البسيطة .. هي أكثر الأشياء تميزا

“ليس العاشق مسلما أو مسيحيا،
أو جزءا من أي عقيدة.
دين العشق لا مذهب له
لتؤمن به أو لا تؤمن.”
― جلال الدين الرومي

“انظر إلى وجه كلّ إنسان، وكن منتبهاً، فلعلّك تغدو من التأمل عارفاً بالوجوه.
ولما كان كثير من الأبالسة يظهرون في صورة الإنسان، فليس يليق بالمرء أن يمدّ يده لكلّ يد.
ذلك لأن الصياد يصطنع الصفير، لكي يوقع الطائر في حبائله.
فيسمع الطائر صوت أبناء جنسه. فيجيء من الهواء فيجد الشبكة والسكين.
إن الرجل اللئيم يسرق لغة الدراويش ليتلو على البسطاء أسطورة منها يخدعهم بها ~”
― جلال الدين الرومي

“(ليس لكل أحد أن يكون محبوباً، لأن المحبوب يحتاج إلى صفات وفضائل، لا يرزقها كل إنسان، ولكن لكل أحد أن يأخذ نصيبه في الحب وينعم به، فإذا فاتك أيها القارئ العزيز أن تكون محبوباً، فلا يفتك يا عزيزي أن تكون محباً، إن لم يكن من حظك أن تكون يوسف، فمن يمنعك من أن تكون يعقوب؟ وما الذي يحول بينك وبين أن تكون صادق الحب دائم الحنين؟)”
― جلال الدين الرومي

“There is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are ageless.”

― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

“كيف نضجر وللسماء هذه الزرقة ، وللأرض هذه الخضرة ، وللورد هذا الشذا ، وللقلب هذه القدرة العجيبة على الحب ، وللروح هذه الطاقة اللانهائية على الإيمان. كيف نضجر وفي الدنيا من نحبهم ، ومن نعجب بهم ، ومن يحبوننا ، ومن يعجبون بنا.”
― نجيب محفوظ

“و من عجب ان اهل حارتنا يضحكون, علام يضحكوون ؟ انهم يهتفون للمنتصر ايا كان المنتصر, و يهللون للقوي ايا كان القوي, و يسجدون امام النبابيت يداوون بذلك كله الرعب الكامن في اعماقهم.”
― نجيب محفوظ, أولاد حارتنا
