Mani Jones

“I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

“Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.”
― Rumi

“وسألني هل أنا + أنا = اثنين
قلت: أنت و أنت أقل من واحد”
― محمود درويش, أثر الفراشة

“لا أحنُّ إلى أي شيء
فلا أمس يمضي ولا الغد يأتي
ولا حاضري يتقدَّم لا شيء يحدث لي!
ليتني حجر”
― محمود درويش, أثر الفراشة
