Manel

“تقول: لماذا نحبّ، فنمشي على طُرُقٍ خاليةْ؟
أقول: لنقهر الموت كثيرا بموت أَقلّ
وننجو من الهاويةْ

تقول: لماذا حلمتُ بأني رأيت سُنوُنُوَّة ًفي يدي؟
أقول: لأنك في حاجةٍ لأَحدْ

تقول: لماذا تذكِّرني بغد لا أراه
معك؟
أقول: لأنك إحدى صفات الأبدْ

تقول: ستمضي إلى نَفَقِ الليل وحدك
بعدي
أقول: سأمضي إلى نفق الليل بعدك
.وحدي”
― Mahmoud Darwish, Almond Blossoms and Beyond

“we loved with a love that was more than love I and my ANNABEL LEE”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Annabel Lee

“There will be a bird today. It will be white with streaks of gold like a crown atop its head. It will fly.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“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
