“You, too, are cut out for failure; not that you’d fight the world. You’d let it chew you up and spit you out, and you’d lie there wondering what was wrong. Because you’d always expect the world to be something it wasn’t, something it had no wish to be. The weevil in the cotton, the worm in the beanstalk, the borer in the corn. You couldn't face them, and you couldn't fight them; because you’re too weak, and you’re too strong. And you have no place to go in the world.”
― John Williams, Stoner

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
― Albert Camus

“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“وحدي أدافع عن هواء ٍ ليس لي

وحدي أدافع عن هواء ٍ ليس لي

وحدي على سطح المدينة واقف ٌ

أيوب مات ، وماتت ِ العنقاء ُ ‘ وانصرف َ الصحابة

وحـــدي . أراود نفسي َ الثكلى فتأبى أن تســاعدني على نفسي

ووحـــدي …. كنت وحدي

عندما قاومت وحــدي … وحدة الروح الأخيــرة”
― محمود درويش, مديح الظل العالي
