“احنا اتفرقنا و على الله الرجوع
و المفرّق و المجمّع ربنا


(من تراث أغاني العرس الفلسطيني)”
― رضوى عاشور, الطنطورية

“Love provided me with a tongue and tears.”
― Kahlil Gibran, Broken Wings

“فإذا وقفت أمام حسنك صامتاً

فالصمت في حرم الجمال جمال

كلماتنا في الحب .. تقتل حبنا

إن الحروف تموت حين تقال.”
― نزار قباني

“Modern civilization has made woman a little wiser, but it has increased her suffering because of man's covetousness. The woman of yesterday was a happy wife, but the woman of today is a miserable mistress. In the past she walked blindly in the light, but now she walks open-eyed in the dark. She was beautiful in her ignorance, virtuous in her simplicity, and strong in her weakness. Today she has become ugly in her ingenuity, superficial and heartless in her knowledge. Will the day ever come when beauty and knowledge, ingenuity and virtue, and weakness of body and strength of spirit will be united in a woman?”
― Kahlil Gibran, Broken Wings
