Mahmoud Darwish
“في مرحلة ما من هشاشةٍ نُسَمَّيها
نضجاً , لا نكون متفائلين ولا متشائمين .
أَقلعنا عن الشغف والحنين وعن تسمية
الأشياء بأضدادها , من فرط ما التبس
علينا الأمر بين الشكل والجوهر, ودرَّبنا
الشعورَ على التفكير الهادئ قبل البوح .
للحكمة أسلبُ الطبيب في النظر إلى
الجرح . وإذ ننظر إلى الوراء لنعرف أَين
نحن منَّا ومن الحقيقة نسأل : كم ارتكبنا
من الأخطاء ؟ وهل وصلنا إلى الحكمة
متأخرين . لسنا متأكدين من صواب
الريح , فماذا ينفعنا أن نصل إلى أيّ
شيء متأخرين , حتى لو كان هنالك
من ينظرنا على سفح الجبل , ويدعونا
إلى صلاة الشكر لأننا وصلنا سالمين ...
لا متفائلين ولا متشائمين , لكن متأخرين !”
محمود درويش, أثر الفراشة

Patrick Rothfuss
“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.
“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.”
Marissa Meyer, Cinder

Mindy Kaling
“You should know I disagree with a lot of traditional advice. For instance, they say the best revenge is living well. I say it’s acid in the face—who will love them now?”
Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Mindy Kaling
“I'm the kind of person who would rather get my hopes up really high and watch them get dashed to pieces than wisely keep my expectations at bay and hope they are exceeded. This quality has made me a needy and theatrical friend, but has given me a spectacularly dramatic emotional life.”
Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
