“التعقل البطولي في مواجهة العبث هو تقريبًا كل ما نمتلك.”

“فقلبك لا يعطيك إلا بقدر ما تعطيه، فلا تهمله طوال العام ثم تطمع أن ينهض لك في لحظة أو شهر.
وشتان بين من ينتظر مواسم الخير ليصلح قلبه، وبين من يُصلح قلبه لينتظر مواسم الخير!
إن الفلاح المتقن يحرث الأرض ويبذرها ثم ينتظر المطر، أما من انتظر المطر ليُصلح له أرضه، فلن يُنبت فيها إلا الحشائش.”

“أنا أبتهل للفرصة التي تمد إليَّ يدًا تشير إلى مخرج من هذا السجن الذي أسميه نفسي”

“Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.”
