“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

“كانت الكتب هي المتنفس الوحيد لي في هذا العالم ، فكل شيء أحببته .. أصابني منه الملل ، ما عدا الكتب .
تلك المخلوقات السحرية التي تبحر بك في عوالم عجيبة حتى تتمنى أن تظل هناك إلى الأبد ، لكن .. و مع آخر صفحة في الكتاب ، تعود بك إلى أرض الواقع لتصطدم بذلك العالم القاسي .
و هنا تكمن روعة و سحرية الكتب ، فهي تعطيك بعض ما تحتاجه ، حتى إذا تملكك الأمر و سيطر عليك ، أعادتك سريعاً إلى الواقع ، لتعود من جديد مهرولاً نحو الكتاب طالباً منه المزيد ..”

“ لقد كان محو عار و مهانه هزيمه 1967 هو الأساس، و كان تقديري أنني حتي لو دفنت مع أربعين ألف من أبنائي في القوات المسلحة و نحن نعبر القناة فسيكون ذلك أشرف لنا ألف مرة من أن نقبل هذا الاذلال و تلك المهانة و ستأتي الأجيال القادمة من بعدنا لتقول انهم ماتوا بشرف في المعركة و لابد أن يكملوها بعدنا . ”

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”
