It’s time to jump.”

“بين الاستبداد و العلم حرباًدائمة و طراداً مستمراً : يسعى العلماء في تنوير العقول و يجتهد المستبد في إطفاء نورها ، و الطرفان يتجاذبانالعوام. و من هم العوام؟ هم أولئك الذين إذا جهلوا خافوا و إذا خافوا استسلموا. كما أنهم هم الذين متى علموا قالوا ، و متى قالوا فعلوا.”
― عبد الرحمن الكواكبي, طبائع الاستبداد ومصارع الاستعباد

“This is what amazes me: that people are new every day. That they are never the same. You must always invent them, and they must always invent themselves, too.”
― Lauren Oliver, Requiem

“Do not find peace. Find passion. Find something you want to die for more than something you want to live for. If it is your children, then fight not just for your own but for orphans who have no one else. If it is for medicine, then do not just seek out a cure for cancer but search for a cure for AIDS as well. Fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Speak for them. Scream for them. Live and die for them. You life will not always be a happy one, but it will have meaning.”
― Michelle Hodkin, The Retribution of Mara Dyer
