“If a woman is fair and amiable, she is praised for both qualities, but especially the former, by the bulk of mankind: if, on the other hand, she is disagreeable in person and character, her plainness is commonly inveighed against as her greatest crime, because, to common observers, it gives the greatest offence; while, if she is plain and good, provided she is a person of retired manners and secluded life, no one ever knows of her goodness, except her immediate connections”

“قال لي أحد المعزين: "آخر الأحزان ياسيدنا". ما أسخف هذه العبارة. لا هي أمنية فتتحقق و لا دعاء فيستجاب. كلما رددها أحدهم سمعها الناس هكذا:"آخر الأحزان" و سمعتها أنا هكذا:"أتمنى لك الموت عاجلاً قبل أن يصيبك الحزن التالي". من نحن بلا أحزان؟ كيف نأمن على أنفسنا بدونها ألا نتيه في أودية الغفلة مثل شياهٍ ضالة؟”

“...is it likely my life all through will be so clouded? Is it not possible that God may hear my prayers, disperse these gloomy shadows, and grant me some beams of heaven’s sunshine yet? Will He entirely deny to me those blessings which are so freely given to others, who neither ask them nor acknowledge them when received? May I not still hope and trust?”

“الكتابة ليست وسيلة لتفريغ الاحتشاد النفسي، بل هي تصنع الاحتشاد و تؤكده.
الكتابة فائقة على الحياة. أنها تجاوزٌ لها.
الكتابة ليست إشارة إلى الجرح، بل صناعة مستمرة له.”
― كبرت ونسيت أن أنسى
