“We are all equal in the fact that we are all different. We are all the same in the fact that we will never be the same. We are united by the reality that all colours and all cultures are distinct & individual. We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity. We don't share blood, but we share the air that keeps us alive. I will not blind myself and say that my black brother is not different from me. I will not blind myself and say that my brown sister is not different from me. But my black brother is he as much as I am me. But my brown sister is she as much as I am me.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“من سوء حظي أَني نجوت مرارًا
من الموت حبًا
ومن حسن حظي أني ما زلت هشًا
لأدخل في التجربةْ!
يقول المحب المجرب في سره:
هو الحب كذبتنا الصادقةْ
فتسمعه العاشقةْ
وتقول : هو الحب، يأتي ويذهب
كالبرق والصاعقة”
― محمود درويش, لا أريد لهذي القصيدة أن تنتهي

“Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin. And there are many things that don't really end, anyway, they just begin again in a new way. Ends are not bad and many ends aren't really an ending; some things are never-ending.”
― C. JoyBell C.
