“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”
― Saul Bellow

“Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die.”
― Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith

“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“لماذا تعج هذه الدنيا بناس على قيد الحياة يرفضون أن يعيشوا، وناس ماتوا يرفضون أن يموتوا.. ؟”
― أميرة حسن الدسوقي, بس يا يوسف
