“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

“مقهى، وأنت مع الجريدة جالسٌ
في الركن منسيّا، فلا أحد يهين
مزاجك الصافي،
ولا أحدٌ يفكر باغتيالك
كم انت منسيٌّ وحُرٌّ في خيالك! ”
― محمود درويش

“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

“In mythos and fairy tales, deities and other great spirits test the hearts of humans by showing up in various forms that disguise their divinity. They show up in robes, rags, silver sashes, or with muddy feet. They show up with skin dark as old wood, or in scales made of rose petal, as a frail child, as a lime-yellow old woman, as a man who cannot speak, or as an animal who can. The great powers are testing to see if humans have yet learned to recognize the greatness of soul in all its varying forms.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves
