“تمر بك أيام تشعر فيها بان كل شيء يثقل على صدرك
الذين يحبونك والذين يكرهونك والذين يعرفونك والذين لا يعرفونك
تشعر بالحاجة إلى أن تكون وحيدا كغيمة
أن تعيد النظر بأشياء كثيرة
أن تعود إلى ذاتك مشتاقا لتنبشها وتواجهها بعد طول هجر
.أن تفجر كل القنابل الموقوتة التي تسكنك”

“If there hadn't been a sixth day, man would not exist; copper would always be copper; and lead just lead. It's true that everything has its Personal Legend, but one day that Personal Legend will be realized. So each thing has to transform itself into something better, and to acquire a new Personal Legend, until, someday, the Soul of the World becomes one thing only.”

“It’s [your Personal Legend] what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend.”
