يوسف السباعي
“ويهتف بى صوت يسرى مع الرياح: "ألم يندمل القرح؟" فأقول: "بل زاد
نكأه" فيقول: "ألا يعزيك عن الراحل شئ؟" فأقول: "إن العزاء لا يتطاول إليه" ويقول: "أتضيع عمرك وراء أمل خاب؟" فأقول: "لست أول من أضاعه" فيقول: "أتعشق الرميم؟" فأقول: "والرماد والهشيم" فيقول: "تكاد تجن به؟" فأقول: "وأوشك أعبده”
يوسف السباعي, أغنيات

Steven Decker
“Rufus didn’t pay any attention to the voice back then. At that time, he attributed the voice to his lack of confidence, causing him to doubt the durability of his friendship with Melissa. But as the years passed, the voice became louder in his head, and it seemed to be someone else’s. It didn’t sound like Rufus did when he spoke. And it didn’t think like he thought. The most crucial difference between Rufus and the voice was that it didn’t tell the truth because the truth was that only good things had happened to him since he’d met Melissa.”
Steven Decker, One More Life to Live
