“Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”

“هل أسخر؟ أسخر كثيراً. فالسخرية وهي البكاء المُبطن خير من دموع الاستعطاف، لأن الأجل قد امتد بنا الي ما دون أرذل العمر.

اضحك، يا ولدي، اضحك، فليس في وسعنا أن ننساق في لغة الحزن أكثر مما انسقنا، فلنوقفها بالسخرية، لا لأن السخرية هي اليأس وقد تهذب كما يقولون، بل لأنها لا تثير الشفقة.”
― محمود درويش, الرسائل
