“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
― Coco Chanel

“لو كنا نعرف أن نفرح فرحة طفل غفل القلب
عرف الدنيا حبا ينمو فى ظلة حب
لأذبنا الفرحة فى أكواب الأحباب

لكنا حين ضحكنا أمس مساء
رنت فى ذيل الضحكات
نبرات بكاء”
― صلاح عبد الصبور, الناس في بلادي

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
― Erin Hanson
