مروة رحيل

“لم يكن مجنونا كان إنساناً يتألّم ألما رهيباً.”
― دوستويفسكي

“إذا كانت الحقيقة قاسية فالكذب دميم. ليست الحقيقة قاسية، ولكن الانفلات من الجهل مؤلم كالولادة. اجرِ وراء الحقيقة حتى تنقطع منك الأنفاس. ارضَ بالألم حتى تُخلق من جديد. هذه المعاني تحتاج إلى عمر لاستيعابها، عمر من التعب تتخلله سويعات من الخمر.”
― Naguib Mahfouz, Le Palais du désir

“I stood there and stared, into the sky and at the city around me. I stood, hands at my side, and I saw what had happened to me and who I was and the way things would always be for me. Truth. There was no more wishing, or wondering. I knew who I was, and what I would always do. I believed it, as my teeth touched and my eyes were overrun.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdog

“The gift of free will is that in this life we can choose to be good or we can choose to be bad. We can choose what standards to hold ourselves to and what we will regard as important, honorable, and admirable. The choices we make in that regard determine whether we will experience peace or not.”
― Ryan Holiday, Stillness is the Key
