“لا اريد من الحب هذا الكم الهائل,
لا اريد هذا الفائض من المشاعر, الزائد عن حاجتي لها يكفيني صوت خصص لي وكلمات مبعثرة تخرج عفوية من شفاه تناديني همساً
أنا لا اطمع بكثيراً من الحب وهو يناديني,
أنا لا اريد سوى بدايات الحب ،،،”
― محمد خالد النجار

“The thesis of this final chapter in part one therefore is that "a deep life is not just economically lucrative but also a life well lived”
― Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

“Another issue muddying the connection between depth and meaning in knowledge work is the cacophony of voices attempting to convince knowledge workers to spend more time engaged in shallow activities.”
― Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

“In all of these examples, it’s not just the change of environment or seeking of quiet that enables more depth. The dominant force is the psychology of committing so seriously to the task at hand. To put yourself in an exotic location to focus on a writing project, or to take a week off from work just to think, or to lock yourself in a hotel room until you complete an important invention: These gestures push your deep goal to a level of mental priority that helps unlock the needed mental resources. Sometimes to go deep, you must first go big.”
