“زدني بفرطِ الحبِّ فيكَ تحيُّراً .. وارحمْ حشى ً بلظي هواكَ تسعَّراً
وإذا سألتكَ أنْ أراكَ حقيقة ً.. فاسمَحْ، ولا تجعلْ جوابي: لن تَرَى
يا قلبُ!أنتَ وعدتَني في حُبّهمْ.. صبراً فحاذرْ أنْ تضيقَ وتضجرا
إنّ الغَرامَ هوَ الحَياة ، فَمُتْ بِهِ .. صَبّاً، فحقّكَ أن تَموتَ، وتُعذَرَا”
― ابن الفارض, ديوان ابن الفارض

“She would never be caught unprepared again, she swore to herself. She would never trust. Never love. Never put faith in other human beings again. She would learn all she could of the shape and substance of the world, and she would find a way to survive in it.”
― David Anthony Durham, Acacia: The War with the Mein

“There is no Mr. Right because there is no Mr. Wrong. There is whoever is in front of us, and the perfect lessons to be learned from that person.”
― Marianne Williamson, Return to Love

“If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn’t matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don’t have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.”
― Shannon L. Alder
