Noha

“أيها الموتُ، اقترب
خُذني إليك، وطوّح بروحي بنقطة ماءٍ تنسرب
بين الشقوق، فتشربها الرمال بلا تعب
لعلني أرتاح إذ أذوب في التراب، فأغترب
عني وعنهم، وعن كل حيٍّ يضطرب
وتسكن بموتي روحٌ تتقد
وقد يهدأ هذا القلبُ الذي يهترئ”
― يوسف زيدان النبطي

“A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“كنتِ عنيدة وامرأة مثلكِ حينما تعاند لا تتنازل إلا بإعتذار مذل وتضرع طويل لذا لم أكن لأعتذر عمّا تفرعت به أبدا”
― أثير عبدالله النشمي, فلتغفري

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
― Stephen King
