“أُخفي الهوى ومدامعي تبديه
وأُميتُهُ وصبابتي تحييه
فكأنَّهُ بالحُسنِ صورةُ يوسفٍ
وكأنَّني بالحُزنِ مثل أبيه”
― ابن الفارض, ديوان ابن الفارض

“I used to know how the mind handled language, and I could communicate what I knew. I used to be someone who knew a lot. No one asks for my opinion or advice anymore. I miss that. I used to be curious and independent and confident. I miss being sure of things. There's no peace in being unsure of everything all the time. I miss doing everything easily. I miss being a part of what's happening. I miss feeling wanted. I miss my life and my family. I loved my life and family.”
― Lisa Genova, Still Alice
