“It is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Mov’d earth and heaven, that which we are, we are:
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
― Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses

“فان الموت يعشق فجأة، مثلي

وإن الموت، مثلي، لا يحب الانتظار”

“يجب أن ننفض عن أنفسنا غبار التبعية الإدراكية و نبحث عن حلول لمشاكلنا نولّدها من نماذجنا المعرفية ومنظوماتنا القيمية والأخلاقية ومن إيماننا بإنسانيتنا المشتركة, و هي منظومات تؤكد أن المجتمع الإنساني يسبق الفرد (تماماً كما يسبق الإنسان الطبيعة/المادة)”
― عبدالوهاب المسيري, قضية المرأة: بين التحرير والتمركز حول الأنثى

“He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Road
