Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Albert Camus
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
Albert Camus

William Shakespeare
“That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.”
William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets

Mahmoud Darwish
“تُنسى كأنك لم تكن

تنسى كمصرع طائر

ككنيسة مهجورة تنسى

كحب عابر

وكوردة في الريح

وكوردة في الثلج

تنسى

انا للطريق

هناك من سبقت خطاه خطاي

من املى رؤاه على رؤاي

هناك من نثر الكلام على سجيته

ليعبر في الحكاية

او يضيء لمن سيأتي بعده

أثرا غنائيا وجرسا

تُنسى كأنك لم تكن

شخصا ولا نصا..وتنسى

امشي على هدي البصيرة

ربما أعطي الحكاية سيرة شخصية

فالمفردات تقودني وأقودها

انا شكلها

وهي التجلي الحر

لكن قيل ما سأقول

يسبقني غد ماض

انا ملك الصدى لا عرش لي الا الهوامش

فالطريق هو الطريقة

ربما نسي الأوائل وصف شيء ما

لاوقظ فيه عاطفة وحسا

تنسى كأنك لم تكن خبرا ولا أثرا وتنسى

انا للطريق

هناك من تمشي خطاه على خطاي

ومن سيسبقني الى رؤياي

من سيقول شعرا في مديح حدائق المنفى امام البيت

حرا من غدي المقصوم

من غيبي ودنياي

حرا من عبادة الأمس

من فردوسي الأرضي

حرا من كناياتي ومن لغتي

فأشهد أنني حر وحي حين..أُنسى”
محمود درويش

Philip Roth
“These girls with old gents don't do it despite the age—they're drawn to the age, they do it for the age. Why? In Consuela's case, because the vast difference in age gives her permission to submit, I think. My age and my
status give her, rationally, the license to surrender, and surrendering in bed is a not unpleasant sensation. But simultaneously, to give yourself over intimately to a much, much older man provides this sort of younger woman with authority of a kind she cannot get in a sexual arrangement with a younger man. She gets both the pleasures of submission and the pleasures of mastery.”
Philip Roth, The Dying Animal
