Hadeer El-Araby

“These days I just can't seem to say what I mean [...]. I just can't. Every time I try to say something, it misses the point. Either that or I end up saying the opposite of what I mean. The more I try to get it right the more mixed up it gets. Sometimes I can't even remember what I was trying to say in the first place. It's like my body's split in two and one of me is chasing the other me around a big pillar. We're running circles around it. The other me has the right words, but I can never catch her.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman: 24 Stories

“عمر الكبرياء عندي
اطول من عمر الحب
ودوما كبريائي
يشيع حبي الى قبره”
― غادة السمان

“Don't you think it would be wonderful to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some place where you don't know a soul?”
― Haruki Murakami

“لم يحبها حقًّا، فقط شعر أنها مناسبة إلى حد كبير. لم تحبه يومًا، فقط شعرَت أنه فرصة لا ينبغي أن تضيع.”
― أحمد الديب
