“ومن يتهيب صعود الجبال يعش أبَــدَ الدهــر بيــن الحــفرْ
فعجَّــتْ بقلبــي دمــاءُ الشـباب وضجَّــت بصـدري ريـاحٌ أخَـرْ...
وأطـرقتُ, أصغـي لقصـف الرعـودِ وعــزفِ الريــاحِ, ووقـعِ المطـرْ”
― أبو القاسم الشابي, أغاني الحياة

“الحبُ لا يُنسيه إلا حُبُّ أكبر منه , ولا حب أكبر من حب الله”
― عمر أحمدين

“At the moment when her eyes closed, when all feeling vanished in her, she thought that she felt a touch of fire imprinted on her lips, a kiss more burning than the red-hot iron of the executioner.”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

“I wanted to see you again, touch you, know who you were, see if I would find you identical with the ideal image of you which had remained with me and perhaps shatter my dream with the aid of reality.

-Claude Frollo ”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
