Denise Levertov
“You have come to the shore. There are no instructions.”
Denise Levertov

Conrad Aiken
“MUSIC I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread.
Now that I am without you, all is desolate,
All that was once so beautiful is dead.
Your hands once touched this table and this silver,And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.
These things do not remember you, beloved:
And yet your touch upon them will not pass.
For it was in my heart you moved among them,And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes.And in my heart they will remember always:
They knew you once, O beautiful and wise!”
Conrad Aiken

José Saramago
“Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.”
José Saramago, Blindness

Alexandre Dumas
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”
Alexandre Dumas

أحمد مطر
“بسم والينا المبجّل…
قرروا شنق الذي اغتال أخي
لكنه كان قصيراً
فمضى الجلاد يسأل…: رأسه لا يصل الحبل
فماذا سوف أفعل ؟… بعد تفكير عميق
أمر الوالي بشنقي بدلاً منه
لأني كنت أطول…”
أحمد مطر, لافتات - المجموعة الكاملة
