“إِلَى الله أَشْكُو أَنَّنِي كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ *** إِذَا نِمْتُ لَمْ أَعْدَمْ طَوَارِقَ أَوْهَامِي
فَإِنْ كَانَ شَرّاً فَهُوَ لَا بُدَّ وَاقِعٌ *** وَإِنْ كَانَ خَيْراً فَهُوَ أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامِ”
― أبو العلاء المعري

“تلوا باطلاً وجلو صارماً..وقالوا: أصبنا؟ فقلنا:نعم!”
― أبو العلاء المعري

“you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame;
how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“I have always shook with fright before human beings. Unable as I was to feel the least particle of confidence in my ability to speak and act like a human being, I kept my solitary agonies locked in my breast. I kept my melancholy and my agitation hidden, careful lest any trace should be left exposed. I feigned an innocent optimism; I gradually perfected myself in the role of the farcical eccentric.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
