“Humans are often more stupid than they realize. Because of our weaknesses are so easily exploited. Just like a child's clumsy fingers messing up the buttons on a shirt. It's easy to mock someone who buttoned his shirt wrongly. It's easy to mock someone who had buttoned wrongly yet remains oblivious to it. But there are also people who completely fail to realize that they buttoned them all wrongly. Just a moment's error, a wrong choice, traps us on the road of no return. But who can reprimand them for that? Why can't humans be lonely? Why can't we yearn for those right by our side? On such a cold lonely night, who can stand to bear it alone? Imagine the fright when we realize the severity of our mistakes. Whoever said love was a happy affair?”

“I didn't need his criticism. I carried enough guilt on my own. I had done everything wrong. I had the highest marks in school but couldn't master common sense.”

“أتعرف ما معنى الكلمة؟
مفتاح الجنة في كلمة
دخول النار على كلمه
وقضاء الله هو كلمه
الكلمة لو تعرف حرمه زاد مزخور
...
الكلمة نور ..
وبعض الكلمات قبور
وبعض الكلمات قلاع شامخة يعتصم بها النبل البشري
الكلمة فرقان بين نبي وبغي
بالكلمة تنكشف الغمة
الكلمة نور
ودليل تتبعه الأمة .
عيسى ما كان سوى كلمة
أضاء الدنيا بالكلمات وعلمها للصيادين
فساروا يهدون العالم ..
الكلمة زلزلت الظالم
الكلمة حصن الحرية
إن الكلمة مسؤولية إن الرجل هو كلمة، شرف الله هو الكلمة”
