Baruch Spinoza
“Don’t cry and don’t rage. Understand.”
Baruch Spinoza

Czesław Miłosz
“Love means to look at yourself/ The way one looks at distant things/ For you are only one thing among many/ And whoever sees that way heals his own heart,/ Without knowing it, from various ills./ A bird and a tree say to him: Friend./ Then he wants to use himself and things/ So that they stand in the glow of ripeness./ It doesn't matter whether he knows what he serves:/ Who serves best doesn't always understand.”
Czeslaw Milosz, Selected Poems

Mahmoud Darwish
“As you prepare your breakfast, think of others
(do not forget the pigeon’s food).
As you conduct your wars, think of others
(do not forget those who seek peace).
As you pay your water bill, think of others
(those who are nursed by clouds).
As you return home, to your home, think of others
(do not forget the people of the camps).
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others
(those who have nowhere to sleep).
As you liberate yourself in metaphor, think of others
(those who have lost the right to speak).
As you think of others far away, think of yourself
(say: “If only I were a candle in the dark”).”
Mahmoud Darwish

Mahmoud Darwish
“I testify that I am free and alive when I am forgotten”
Mahmoud Darwish

Baruch Spinoza
“A free man thinks of death least of all things, and his wisdom is a meditation not of death but of life.”
Baruch Spinoza, Ethics
