Noura

“When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. And Sabina - what had come over her? Nothing. She had left a man because she felt like leaving him. Had he persecuted her? Had he tried to take revenge on her? No. Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“نحن نخطئ دوماً حينما نظن أنّ الذين نحبهم معصومون من الموت”
― واسيني الأعرج, سوناتا لأشباح القدس

“I want you to be weak. As weak as I am.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“A single metaphor can give birth to love.”
