“When it comes to books and friends, it is best to have only a few but all good ones.”

“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'Well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.”
― Maya Angelou

“اذا اردت ان تفهم انسانا فانظر فعله في لحظة اختيار حر وحينئذ سوف تفاجأ تماما فقد تري القديس يزني وقد تري العاهره تصلي,وقد تري الطبيب يشرب السم,وقد تفاجأ بصديقك يطعنك وبعدوك ينقذك وقد تري الخادم سيدا في افعاله والسيد احقر من احقر خادم في اعماله وقد تري ملوكا يرتشون وصعاليك يتصدقون..”
― مصطفى محمود

“Life is made up of meetings and partings. People come into your life everyday, you say good morning, you say good evening, some stay for a few minutes, some stay for a few months, some a year, others a whole lifetime. No matter who it is, you meet and then you part. I'm so glad I met you Elizabeth Egan; I'll thank my lucky stars for that. I think I wished for you all of my life" He whispered. "But now it is time for us to part.”
― Cecelia Ahern, If You Could See Me Now
