“إن المناضل ليدرك في كثير من الأحيان أن عمله لا أن يقاتل القوى العدوة فحسب، بل كذلك حبات اليأس المتبلورة في جسم المستعمَر.”
― فرانز فانون, The Wretched of the Earth

“لكن بعض المشاھد محزن فعلا..وبالنسبة إلى ھذه أیضا
فاني لا أغمض عیوني عنھا أیضا لأنھا في نظري تمثل
جانبا من جوانب الحیاة واعتقد أن صرف العیون عن مثل
ھذه المشاھد ولو أنھا محزنة ھو بالذات إغلاق للقلب
وإغلاق للفكر.”
― هيلين كيلر

“So this is what you do when it all slows down and the minutes that tick by feels a little longer than before. You open your eyes a little wider, and look at everything. Take it all in. Rehash stories of old, remember people, times and occasions gone by. Allow everything you see to remind you of something. Talk about those things. Stop and take your time to notice things and make those things you notice matter. Find out the answers you didn't know to yesterday's crosswords. Slow down. Stop trying to do everything now, now, now.”
― Cecelia Ahern, Thanks for the Memories

“When he came home at night to his children,
he may have been tired and poor and overwhelmed, but
he was alive. He was his own boss. He was responsible for
his own decisions and direction. His work was complex: it
engaged his mind and imagination. And in his work, there
was a relationship between effort and reward.”
