“وقد زعموا أن المحب إذا دنا يَملُّ وَأنَّ النَّأْيَ يَشْفِي مِنَ الْوَجْدِ
بَكُلٍّ تدَاوَيْنَا فلمْ يُشْفَ ما بِنَا على أنَّ قُرْبَ الدَّارِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْبُعْدِ”
― قيس بن الملوح, ديوان قيس بن الملوح: مجنون ليلى

“I usually get distracted when I’m on the internet. I open one or two tabs to look something up for school but it turns out that I open more than 30 tabs, most of them irrelevant to my research. It’s funny because it reminds me of getting to know people in my life. I have a goal and spending time with too many people might delay me from achieving it. I see it as if people were internet browser tabs.”
― Abdullah Abu Snaineh, Armband of Being

“أرض الله شائكة وليس في قدميك نعل”
