“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“أين كنت ذلك المساء
حين شاهدت آخر عود ثقاب في العالم
ينطفيء
وكنت وحدي؟”
― غادة السمان

“حمدا لله علـى أوهامنـا، إنّها تمنحنـا بقية أمل ، و بقيـة عزاء”
― يوسف السباعي, نادية، الجزء الأول

“Like the sweet moon keeps the sky
Like the wind goin' whooshing by
When those ol' sunbeams break the day
I will keep you while you play
Just as ol' river keeps the fishes
And little stars keep silver wishes
Just as the ocean keeps the blue
I will stand here close to you.
When all around is dark and deep
When them ol' shadows slowly creep
Even when you're fast asleep
It's you I'll keep, it's you I'll keep
No need to cry, no need to fear
I will always be right here.
I will always be right here.”
― Kathi Appelt, The Underneath
