“الحقد يضعف.إنه يتأكل الجسم من الداخل ويصيب جهاز المناعة.فعندما يقيم الحقد في دواخلنا ,ينتهي الأمر بأن يسحقنا”
― Tahar Ben Jelloun, تلك العتمة الباهرة

“1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the things they read (or watch, or listen to, or taste, or whatever). They’re also entitled to express them online.

2. Sometimes those opinions will be ones you don’t like.

3. Sometimes those opinions won’t be very nice.

4. The people expressing those may be (but are not always) assholes.

5. However, if your solution to this “problem” is to vex, annoy, threaten or harrass them, you are almost certainly a bigger asshole.

6. You may also be twelve.

7. You are not responsible for anyone else’s actions or karma, but you are responsible for your own.

8. So leave them alone and go about your own life."

“لن نبلغ النضج
ما لم تكن القراءة — لا بل الدراسة — عادتنا، وما لم ننفق على تثقيف أذهاننا
بمثل السخاء الذي ننفق به على شراء حاجاتنا المادية”
