لأن الأساطير تقول بأن الرجل الذي يهديكِ زهرة يعشقكِ بصدق”

“ثمته سحر في الغرباء .. كجنون فان كوخ
يثير أكثر النساء بروداً في العالم
ثمته سحر في هويتهم الضائعه ..
في إنتمائهم الغريب لبلدان عرفوها ولم يروها
ثمته شئ في ملامحهم المبعثرة ...
ثمته شئ في أرواحهم تلك التي تستقل قطاراً لم يركبوه بعد !
ولكناتهم .. تلك التي تأخذ من كل بلد عاشوا فيه لحنا لأصواتهم
ثمته إغراء في الغرباء ... تحديداً
ذاك الذي يصف تفاصيل عطراً يجزم أنه إشتمه في شالك
ولا يذكر رائحته إلا بذكر ملامحك !!
ثمته أعجوبة في طريقة تأثيثهم لقلوب البشر
وإستبدالها بأوطانهم ... حتى يصبح الوطن بالنسبة لهم شخصاً
ويصبح ذلك الشخص أمة بحالها !!
ثمته متعة في وداعهم الذي لا لقاء بعده
وفي الموعد الذي يجمعنا بهم ...
ذلك الموعد الذي لن تعرف مطلقاً ما إذا كـان
الأول أو الأوحــــــــــد ...”

“Once upon a time, powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which the inhabitants drank. Whoever drank that water would go mad.

The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policemen and the inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water, and they thought the king’s decisions were absurd and resolved to take notice of them.

When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. The marched on the castle and called for his abdication.

In despair the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him, saying: ‘Let us go and drink from the communal well. Then we will be the same as them.’

And that was what they did: The king and queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such ‘wisdom’, why not allow him to rule the country?

The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days.”

“The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage
