ever, possibly, see one.”

“In those days, I didn't understand anything. I should have judged her according to her actions, not her words. She perfumed my planet and lit up my life. I should never have run away! I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretensions. Flowers are so contradictory! But I was too young to know how to love her.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.”
― Mary Oliver

“سيري ببطء، يا حياة، لكي أَراكِ بِكامل النقْصَان حولي. كم نسيتكِ في خضمٌكِ باحثا عنٌي وعنكِ. وكلَّما أدركتُ سرًا منكِ قلتُ بقسوة: ما أَجهلَكْ! قل للغياب: نَقَصْتَني وأَنا حضرت لأكملكْ”
― Mahmoud Darwish, Almond Blossoms and Beyond
