“لا شيء أجمل من الوجه البارد لإمرأة شابة نائمة. أليس هو التعزية الكبرى التي يمكن أن يهبها العالم؟ حتى المرأة الأكثر جمالاً لا تقدر على إخفاء عمرها عندما تكون نائمة. أما الوجه الفتيّ فهو عذبٌ في حالة النوم، حتى ولو لم تكن صاحبته جميلة ص 86”

“Dignity
/ˈdignitē/ noun
1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache.
2. The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes.
3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent’s wisdom.
4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People’s opinions don’t matter.
5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself.
6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it, need it or God prevented it.
7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don't want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable.
8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission.
9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from.
10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.”

“الجمال العظيم يأسرني, ولكن الجمال الأعظم يحررني من أسر ذاته”

“سألتها: ما هذا الجمال؟ فقد تباين الناس بتعريفه ومعرفته مثلما اختلفوا بتمجيده ومحبته.
قالت: هو ما كان بنفسك جاذب إليه، هو ما تراه وتود أن تعطي لا أن تأخذ، هو ما شعرت عند ملقاه بأياد مدودة من أعماقك لضمه إلى أعماقك، هو ما تحسبه الأجسام محنه والأرواح منحة، هو ألفة بين الحزن والفرح، هو ما تراه محجوبا وتعرفه مجهولا وتسمعه صامتا، هو قوة تبتدئ في قدس أقداس ذاتك وتنتهي في ما وراء تخيلاتك.”
