“ما أشقي الآدميين! .. لقد كتب عليهم العمي، و هم يحسبون أن لهم عيوناً مبصرة، إنا لا نبصر حقيقة الأشياء إلا بعيوننا الداخلية، و لا ندرك حقيقة الأمور إلا باتصالها، و اصطدامها بجوهر مشاعرنا …”
― توفيق الحكيم, الرباط المقدس

“People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or love.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
