“أيها الناس .. لا تحزنوا .. لا تحزنوا .. كيف تحزنون علي شيء .. وأنتم لا شيء .. فيم حزنكم .. وبعد لحظة أو لحظات ستضحون رمة لا تستطيع حتى أن تحزن ؟ أيها الناس، لا تحزنوا على ما ضاع فأنت أنفسكم ضائعون.. كيف يحزن ضائع علي ضائع ؟.. وهالك علي هالك ؟.. وزائل علي زائل؟”
― يوسف السباعي, أرض النفاق

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
― Ted Hughes, Letters of Ted Hughes
