“What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

- Leisure”
― W.H. Davies, Common Joys and Other Poems

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“عندما ينام كل شئ
أنا من الذين يدللون يأسهم من العالم:ككلب الحراسة
أرمي له في بداية الليل لحم الضحك...وأنتظر
حتى يشبع وينام
ثم أتسلل إلى صدري: مثل اللصوص
وأخرجك من هناك بكل هدوء,تحفة من الأمل”
― ميثم راضي, كلمات رديئة

“All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.”
― Woody Allen
