“A madman is one who considers himself sane and thinks that fools don’t belong in his rank.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Prisoner of Heaven

“أدمنت احزاني
فصرت اخاف ان لا احزنا
I got addicted to my sorrows,
Until I have gotten scared of not being sorrowed.

وطعنت آلافا من المرات
حتى صار يوجعني بان لا اطعنا
And I was stabbed thousands of times,
Until it felt painful not to be stabbed.

ولعنت في كل اللغات
حتى صار يقلقني بان لا العنا
And I was cursed in all the languages,
Until I started being nervous of not being cursed.

ولقد تشابهت كل البلاد
فلا ارى نفسي هناك، ولا ارى نفسي هنا
And all the countries seemed the same,
That I don't see myself there, And I don't see myself here.”
― Nizar Qabbani

“Eger ji nav helbestên min
Gul bavêjin der
Ji çar werzan
Werzekî min dimire.

Eger yar bavêjin der
Dudu dimirin.

Eger nan bavêjin der
Sisê dimirin.

Eger azadî bavêjin der
Sala min dimire
Û
Ez bi xwe jî dimirim…”
― Sherko Bekas

“I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I really was.”
