“الحلم هو الذي يجد الحالمين, وماعلى الحالم إلا أن يتذكر”
― محمود درويش, في حضرة الغياب

“It's a funny thing... but people mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really, what guides them is what they're afraid of. What they don't want.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

“بَادٍ هَوَاكَ صَبَرْتَ أمْ لم تَصْبِرَا
وَبُكاكَ إن لم يَجْرِ دمعُكَ أو جَرَى
كمْ غَرّ صَبرُكَ وَابتسامُكَ صَاحِبًا
لمّا رَآهُ وَفي الحَشَا مَا لا يُرَى
أمَرَ الفُؤادُ لِسَانَهُ وَجُفُونَهُ
فَكَتَمْنَهُ وَكَفَى بجِسْمِكَ مُخبِرَا”
― أبو الطيب المتنبي

“They say, Find a purpose in your life and live it. But, sometimes, it is only after you have lived that you recognize your life had a purpose, and likely one you never had in mind.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed
