“I guess I felt attached to my weakness. My pain and suffering too. Summer light, the smell of a breeze, the sound of cicadas - if I like these things, why should I apologize?”
― Haruki Murakami, A Wild Sheep Chase

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“لقد تعلمنا في المدرسة ونحن صغار أن السنبلة

الفارغة ترفع رأسها في الحقل،

وأن الممتلئة بالقمح تخفضه، فلا يتواضع إلا كبير،

ولا يتكبر إلا حقير.”
― علي الطنطاوي

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
― Aristotle
