“People are never satisfied. If they have a little, they want more. If they have a lot, they want still more. Once they have more, they wish they could be happy with little, but are incapable of making the slightest effort in that direction.”
― Paulo Coelho The Winner Stands Alone

“القبلة هي الفعل العشقي الوحيد الذي تشترك فيه جميع حواسنا. نحن في حاجة الى حواسنا الخمس لتقبيل شخص. ولكن لسنا في حاجة اليها جميعها لنمارس الجنس. القبلة تفضحنا. لأنها حالة عشقية محض، ولا علاقة لها بالرغبات الجنسية التي نشترك فيها مع كل الحيوانات”
― أحلام مستغانمي, فوضى الحواس

“he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke—the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“People? They usually ask only stupid questions, forcing you to reply with equally stupid answers. For instance, they ask you what you do, not what you would have liked to do. They ask you what you own, not what you’ve lost. They ask about the woman you married, not about the one you love. About your name, but not if it suits you. They ask your age, but not how well you’ve lived those years. They ask about the city you live in, not about the city that lives in you. And they ask if you pray, not if you fear God.
So I’ve gotten used to answering these questions with silence. You know, when we shut up, we force others to reconsider their mistakes”
