“يشعر بأنه سجين في هذه البلاد. يشعر بالضيق, يعتصره الالم والوهن والمرض, وافكار السجناء الجنونية. لا عزاء يبعث في نفسه السرور. لانه مجرد عزاء هش, عزاء يعصف برأسه ليقاوم به حقيقة السجن القاسي .لو سأله احدهم عما يريده لن يعرف الاجابة, لان هي احد الادلة الدامغة على انه لا يعرف شيئا عن الحرية”
― فرانز كافكا

“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

“But things never go the way you want them to, and this was no exception. The world seemed to have a better sense of how you wanted things not to go.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“Beyond the bend in the road
There may be a well, and there may be a castle,
And there may be just more road.
I don’t know and don’t ask.
As long as I’m on the road that’s before the bend
I look only at the road before the bend,
Because the road before the bend is all I can see.
It would do me no good to look anywhere else
Or at what I can’t see.
Let’s pay attention only to where we are.
There’s only enough beauty in being here and not somewhere else.
If there are people beyond the bend in the road,
Let them worry about what’s beyond the bend in the road.
That, for them, is the road.
If we’re to arrive there, when we arrive there we’ll know.
For now we know only that we’re not there.
Here there’s just the road before the bend, and before the bend
There’s the road without any bend.”
― Fernando Pessoa, A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems
