“Flowers that are offered for the dead, do not know the difference of where their beauty will be placed, they do not say, "This is not a palace" or "This is not a garden"; they just are. They are just beautiful, without giving regards to whether they are placed on a grave or in a castle. Flowers are just beautiful, whether they grow by the wayside or in a manicured garden. If we were all like flowers, then we would all be beautiful, with no regards to why or how. We just are. We are just beautiful.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“البصر نور ينبع من القلب، مامعنى أن تكون لك عينان ولا ترى الفقير؟ ومامعنى أن تكون لك عينان تشيحهما عن المظلوم؟”

“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
― Nora Ephron

“قالوا ( دِمَشْقُ ) و( بَغْدادٌ ) فقلتُ هما
فَجْرٌ على الغَدِ مِن أَمْسَيْهِما انْبَثَقا

ما تَعْجَبونَ ؟ أَمِنْ مَهْدَيْنِ قد جُمِعا
أَم تَوْأَمَيْنِ على عَهْدَيْهِما اتَّفَقا

أَم صامِدَيْنِ يَرُبَّانِ المَصيرَ مَعاً
حُبَّاً ويَقْتَسِمانِ الأَمْنَ والفَرَقا

يُهَدْهِدانِ لِساناً واحِداً ودَماً
صِنْواً، ومُعْتَقِداً حُرَّا،ً ومُنْطَلَقا”
