آية العوبلّي

“أنا لا أطلب منك أن تصف سقوط المطر، أنا أطلب أن تجعلني أتبلل، فكر بالأمر، أيُّها الكاتب!”
― إدواردو غاليانو

“In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“Nothing unites two people so completely, especially if, like you and me, all they have is words.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

“I read the letter once, put it aside, and read it again; I pick up a file but am really only reading your letter; I am with the typist, to whom I am supposed to dictate, and again your letter slowly slides through my fingers and I have begun to draw it out of my pocket when people ask me something and I know perfectly well I should not be thinking of your letter now, yet that thought is all that occurs to me—but after all that I am as hungry as before, as restless as before, and once again the door starts swinging merrily, as though the man with the letter were about to appear again. That is what you call the “little pleasure” your letters give me.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice
