“لست من أولئك الذين لا يعدو ايمانهم ان يكون خوفاً من يوم الحساب , ولاتعدو صلاتهم أن تكون سجوداً .طريقتي في الصلاة؟ أتأمل وردة ,أعد النجوم ,أتدلّه بجمال الخليقة بكمال نظامها وترتيبها ,بالانسان أجمل ما أبدع الخلّاق ,بعقله المتعطش الى المعرفة ,بقلبه المتعطش الى الحب, بحواسه كل حواسه متيقظة كانت أو مترعة .”
― Amin Maalouf, Samarkand

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”
― Robert Fulghum, True Love

“Things have a life of their own," the gypsy proclaimed with a harsh accent. "It's simply a matter of waking up their souls.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, taste and smell alone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, remain poised a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unflinchingly, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.”
― Marcel Proust
