Aya Essam

“All I'm telling you to do is to be smart about it. Know that if this man isn't looking for a serious relationship, you're not going to change his mind just because you two are going on dates and being intimate. You could be the most perfect woman on the Lord's green earth-you're capable of interesting conversation, you cook a mean breakfast, you hand out backrubs like sandwiches, you're independent (which means, to him, that you're not going to be in his pockets)-but if he's not ready for a serious relationship, he going to treat you like sports fish.”
― Steve Harvey, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
― Pablo Neruda

“ثمة حزنٌ يصبح معه البكاء مبتذلاً، حتى لكأنه إهانة لمن نبكيه!
فلِمَ البكاء... مادام الذين يذهبون يأخذون دائماً مساحة منّا... دون أن يدركوا هناك حيث هم، أننا موتاً بعد آخر .. نصبح أولى منهم بالرثاء!”
― أحلام مستغانمي

“إن أي تلاعب بالناس حتى ولو كان في مصلحتهم هو أمر لاإنساني، أن تفكر بالنيابة عنهم وأن تحررهم من مسؤولياتهم والتزاماتهم هو أيضا لا إنساني.”
― علي عزت بيجوفيتش, الإسلام بين الشرق والغرب
