Aqeel

“Sometimes at midnight, in the great silence of the sleep-bound town, the doctor turned on his radio before going to bed for the few hours’ sleep he allowed himself. And from the ends of the earth, across the thousands of miles of land and sea, kindly, well-meaning speakers tried to voice their fellow-feeling, and indeed did so, but at the same time proved the utter incapacity of every man truly to share in suffering that he cannot see.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“ما هذه القدرة عند العربي على تحمّل وجود هو أكثرُ من موت و أقلّ من حياة ؟”
― أدونيس

“لقد كنت قبل اليوم أنكر صاحبي .. إذا لم يكن ديني إلى دينه داني
لقد صارَ قلـبي قابلاً كلَ صُـورةٍ .. فـمرعىً لغـــــزلانٍ ودَيرٌ لرُهبـَــــانِ
ِوبيتٌ لأوثــانٍ وكعـــبةُ طـائـــفٍ .. وألـواحُ تـوراةٍ ومصـحفُ قــــــرآن
أديـنُ بدينِ الحــــبِ أنّى توجّـهـتْ .. ركـائـبهُ ، فالحبُّ ديـني وإيـمَاني”
― محيي الدين بن عربي, ترجمان الأشواق
