“Why do beautiful songs make you sad?' 'Because they aren't true.' 'Never?' 'Nothing is beautiful and true.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“I am always sad, I think. Perhaps this signifies that I am not sad at all, because sadness is something lower than your normal disposition, and I am always the same thing. Perhaps I am the only person in the world, then, who never becomes sad. Perhaps I am lucky.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

“في داخلي شُرْفَةٌ
لا يَمُرُّ بها أَحَدٌ للتَّحيَّة.”
― محمود درويش

“أيها الماضي! لا تغيِّرنا كلما ابتعدنا عنك!
أيها المستقبل! لا تسألنا: من أنتم؟ وماذا تريدون مني؟ فنحن أيضاً لا نعرف.
أيها الحاضر! تحمَّلنا قليلاً. فلسنا سوى عابري سبيل ثقلاء الظل!”
― محمود درويش
