“لا نلتقي الا وداعا عند مفترق الحديث

تقول لي مثلا:تزوج اي امرأة من

الغرباء أجمل من بنات الحي,لكن,

لا تصدق أية امرأة سواي . ولا تصدق

ذكرياتك دائما . لا تحترق لتضيء أمك ،

تلك مهنتها الجميلة . لا تحن إلى مواعيد

الندى . كن واقعيا كالسماء. ولا تحن

إلى عباءة جدك السوداء، أو رشوات

جدتك الكثيرة ، وانطلق كالمهر في الدنيا .

وكن من أنت حيث تكون . واحمل

عبء قلبك وحده ... وارجع إذا

اتسعت بلادك للبلاد وغيرت أحوالها”
― محمود درويش

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
