“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
― Mae West

“ذات قصيدة ،
أخبرتني أمي ..
أن دجلة أغنية لا تذبل ..
و أن بغداد لوحة لا يتسلل إليها النشاز ..
و نخيل البصرة لا يموت ..
و ذبلت الأغنية ..
ونشزت اللوحة ..
ومات نخيل البصرة ..”
― هديل الحضيف

“A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, The Aleph and Other Stories

“Security is the denial of life”
― Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch
