“عندما تكون الأيام تشبه بعضها
بعضاً، فهذا يعني أن الناس قد توقفوا عن ملاحظة الأشياء الطيبة التي تخطر في حياتهم طالما أن الشمس تعبر السماء باستمرار”

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
― Robert Frost

“أف لهذه الدنيا! يحبها من يخاف عليها.. ومتى خاف عليها خاف منها.. فهو يشقى بها ويشقى لها.. ومثل هذا لا يكاد يطالع وجه حادثةٍ من حوادث الدهر إلا خيّل إليه أن التعاسة قد تركت الناس جميعا وأقبلت عليه وحده..”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, المساكين

“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.”
