Ursae Minoris

“This sadness wasn't a huge part of me--I wasn't remotely depressed--but still, it was like a stone I carried in my pocket. I always knew it was there. [p. 179]”
― Dani Shapiro, Devotion

“Men were created before women. ... But that doesn't prove their superiority – rather, it proves ours, for they were born out of the lifeless earth in order that we could be born out of living flesh. And what's so important about this priority in creation, anyway? When we are building, we lay foundations on the ground first, things of no intrinsic merit or beauty, before subsequently raising up sumptuous buildings and ornate palaces. Lowly seeds are nourished in the earth, and then later the ravishing blooms appear; lovely roses blossom forth and scented narcissi.”

“حاسب من الاحزان و حاســـــــب لها

حاسب علي رقابيك من حبلـــــــــــها

راح تنتهي و لابد راح تنتهــــــــــي

مش انتهت أحزان من قبلهــــــــــا؟

عجبي !!!”
