Stephen Fry
“The English language is like London: proudly barbaric yet deeply civilised, too, common yet royal, vulgar yet processional, sacred yet profane. Each sentence we produce, whether we know it or not, is a mongrel mouthful of Chaucerian, Shakespearean, Miltonic, Johnsonian, Dickensian and American. Military, naval, legal, corporate, criminal, jazz, rap and ghetto discourses are mingled at every turn. The French language, like Paris, has attempted, through its Academy, to retain its purity, to fight the advancing tides of Franglais and international prefabrication. English, by comparison, is a shameless whore.”
Stephen Fry, The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within

“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
Kinky Friedman

Mahmoud Darwish
“الحنين ندبة في القلب ، و بصمة بلد على جسد . لكن لا أحد يحن إلى جرحه ، لا أحد يحن إلى وجع أو كابوس، بل يحن إلى ماقبله, إلى زمان لا ألم فيه سوى ألم الملذات الأولى التي تذوّب الوقت كقطعة سكر في فنجان شاي”
محمود درويش, في حضرة الغياب

Mahmoud Darwish
“لم تذهب يوما الى اعراس القريه ولكنها اول من يذهب الى جنازة في القريه والقرى المجاوره .عاجزة عن الفرح قادرة على البكاء ..وبارعة في السخرية”
محمود درويش, يوميات الحزن العادي
