What is a pessimist? The man who says, "Things are fine everywhere but here. Everyone else is better off than we are. We're the only ones who've had a bad break." He torments himself continually.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, Cancer Ward

“There was nothing to talk about anymore. The only thing to do was go.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“أحياناً أتمنى أن أصب بنزفي في أحد شرايينك”
