“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“إن العرب ليظلون يتحدثون بضجيج و إدعاء عن أمجادهم و انتصاراتهم الخطابية حتى ليذهبون يحسبون أن ما قالوه قد فعلوه ، و أنه لم يبق شيئا عظيم أو جيد لم يفعلوه لكي يفعلوه .. إن من آصل و أرسخ و أشهر مواهبم أن يعتقدوا أنهم قد فعلوا الشيء لأنهم قد تحدثوا عنه.”
― عبد الله القصيمي, العرب ظاهرة صوتية

“Miracles are like meatballs, because nobody can exactly agree on what they are made of, where they come from, or how often they should appear.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Carnivorous Carnival

“Mothers are all slightly insane.”
