“في مرحلة ما من هشاشةٍ نُسَمَّيها
نضجاً , لا نكون متفائلين ولا متشائمين .
أَقلعنا عن الشغف والحنين وعن تسمية
الأشياء بأضدادها , من فرط ما التبس
علينا الأمر بين الشكل والجوهر, ودرَّبنا
الشعورَ على التفكير الهادئ قبل البوح .
للحكمة أسلبُ الطبيب في النظر إلى
الجرح . وإذ ننظر إلى الوراء لنعرف أَين
نحن منَّا ومن الحقيقة نسأل : كم ارتكبنا
من الأخطاء ؟ وهل وصلنا إلى الحكمة
متأخرين . لسنا متأكدين من صواب
الريح , فماذا ينفعنا أن نصل إلى أيّ
شيء متأخرين , حتى لو كان هنالك
من ينظرنا على سفح الجبل , ويدعونا
إلى صلاة الشكر لأننا وصلنا سالمين ...
لا متفائلين ولا متشائمين , لكن متأخرين !”

“There's little in taking or giving
There's little in water or wine
This living, this living , this living
was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
the gain of the one at the top
for art is a form of catharsis
and love is a permanent flop
and work is the province of cattle
and rest's for a clam in a shell
so I'm thinking of throwing the battle
would you kindly direct me to hell?”

“Hiking is not escapism; it's realism. The people who choose to spend time outdoors are not running away from anything; we are returning to where we belong.”

“Diamonds Are Not This Girl's Best Friend
Diamonds are not my best friend but they used to be. It wasn't just jewelry but all the things I bought to lift me up, prove my worth, and demonstrate my love. As I became more and more me and started experiencing the world from this new stuff-less place, I realized that diamonds are not this girl's best friend. My best friend is a magical rooftop sunrise. My best friend is the ocean. My best friend is a hike in the mountains. My best friend is a peaceful afternoon. My best friend is a really good book. My best friend is laughter. My best friend is seeing the world. My best friend is time with people I love. Diamonds have nothing on my best friends.”
