“الحب أحجية الوجود، ليس في الناس من لم يعرف الحب، وليس فيهم من عرف ما هو الحب؛ الحب مشكلة العقل التي لا تحل ولكنه حقيقة القلب الكبرى.”

“وأنزهُ اسمكَ أنْ تمرّ حروفهُ .. من غَيرَتي بمَسامِعِ الجُلاّسِ
فأقولُ بعضُ النّاسِ عنك كناية ً .. خوْفَ الوُشاةِ وَأنتَ كلّ النّاسِ”

“I love you,” I tell her. “I love you because all the loves in the world are like different rivers flowing into the same lake, where they meet and are transformed into a single love that becomes rain and blesses the earth.
“I love you like a river that creates the right conditions for trees and bushes and flowers to flourish along its banks. I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.
“I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.
“I love you like a river that begins as a solitary trickle in the mountains and gradually grows and joins other rivers until, after a certain point, it can flow around any obstacle in order to get where it wants.
“I receive your love, and I give you mine. Not the love of a man for a woman, not the love of a father for a child, not the love of God for his creatures, but a love with no name and no explanation, like a river that cannot explain why it follows a particular course but simply flows
onward. A love that asks for nothing and gives nothing in return; it is simply there. I will never be yours, and you will never be mine; nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you, I love you, I love you.”

الكتب تصنع للإنسان الغايات مثل الآداب والعلوم والفنون .. وفي المصانع يصنع الإنسان الوسائل إلى هذه الغايات”
