“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”

“I'm alive. When I'm eating that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just concentrate on marching. If I have to fight,it will be just as good a day as any to die. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life is the moment we are living now.”

“In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.”

“لآ تذهب ، لآ تحضُر
لآ تقترب ، لآ تبتعد
لآ تهجرني ، لآ تلتصق بي
لآ تضيعني ، لآ تؤطرني
لنطِر معًا
في خطين متوازيين
لآ يلتقيان ، لكنهما أيضًا لآ يفترقان”
― الحب من الوريد إلى الوريد
لآ تقترب ، لآ تبتعد
لآ تهجرني ، لآ تلتصق بي
لآ تضيعني ، لآ تؤطرني
لنطِر معًا
في خطين متوازيين
لآ يلتقيان ، لكنهما أيضًا لآ يفترقان”
