“وانت تحاول الأقتراب من احدهم
هناك اخر ..يتخذ خطوة للقرب منك
تصاب بالحيرة مرتين
وتظل عالقاً فى المنتصف
لا انت وقفت..لمن يود اللحاق بك
ولا انت لحقت بمن تود القرب منه”
― هاجد محمد, نصف وجه بلا ملامح

“The people of this world are like the three butterflies
in front of a candle's flame.

The first one went closer and said:
I know about love.

The second one touched the flame
lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love's fire can burn.

The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame
and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is.”
― Attar of Nishapur

“Or take this girl, for example. At a meeting just outside Paris, a fifteen-year-old girl came up to me and said that she'd been to see [The Double Life of] Véronique. She'd gone once, twice, three times and only wanted to say one thing really - that she realized that there is such a thing as a soul. She hadn't known before, but now she knew that the soul does exist. There's something very beautiful in that. It was worth making Véronique for that girl. It was worth working for a year, sacrificing all that money, energy, time, patience, torturing yourself, killing yourself, taking thousands of decisions, so that one young girl in Paris should realize that there is such a thing as a soul. It's worth it.”
