“ألم تعلمي يا عذبة َ الريق أنني
أظلُّ ، إذا لم ألقَ وجهكِ ، صاديا؟
لقد خِفْتُ أن ألقَى المنيّة َ بَغتَة ً
وفي النفسِ حاجاتٌ إليكِ كما هيا
وإني لينسيني لقاؤكِ، كلما
لقِيتُكِ يوماً، أن أبُثّكِ ما بِيا”
― جميل بن عبد الله بن معمر, ديوان جميل بثينة

“A dream is not reality, but who's to say which is which?”

“And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is some thing in you that wants to move out of it. This very wish, if you use it calmly and prudently and like a tool, will help you spread out your solitude over a great distance. Most people have (with the help of conventions) turned their solutions toward what is easy and toward the easiest side of the easy; but it is clear that we must trust in what is difficult; everything alive trusts in it, everything, in Nature grows and defends itself any way it can and is spontaneously itself, tries to be itself at all costs and against all opposition. We know little, but that we must trust in what is difficult is a certainty that will never abandon us; it is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be one more reason for us to do it.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“أنا أعرف معنى الوحدة.. فأسوأ أشكال الوحدة هو العزلة التي تنجم عن سوء الفهم. بإمكان هذا الشعور أن يجعل الناس يفقدون إحساسهم بالواقع.”
