“لم أهزم الاكتئاب لأننى طبيب نفسى أعرف بوادره مبكرا فأهاجمه قبل أن يهاجمنى، لكن لأننى صرت أبا وصار الاكتئاب ترفا وخيانة لبهاء الأبوة.”
― محمد المخزنجي

“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“وعمومًا فالكلمات مهما كانت جميلة وعميقة فإنها لا تؤثر إلا في ذوي النفوس اللامبالية، ولا تستطيع دائمًا أن ترضي السعداء أو التعساء. ويبدو أن أسمى تعبير عن السعادة أو التعاسة هو الصمت؛ فالعشاق يفهمون بعضهم بعضًا عندما يصمتون، أما الخطبة الحارة المشبوبة الملقاة على القبر فلا تؤثر إلا في الغرباء، بينما تبدو لأرملة المتوفى وأولاده باردة تافهة.”
― أنطون تشيخوف

“We can't, and we should not, compare sufferings. We come together as a family of God, hand in hand. And then together coming and standing upon the promises of God, knowing that no matter who you are, no matter what you're going through, that God knows it, He is with you, He is going to pull you through.”
