"I think in general I just really enjoy reading unserious stuff about people talking about each other and behind each others' backs and forming romantic affiliations." — Sep 05, 2026 09:11AM

“Better to have flamed in the darkness, to have inspired others, to have lived, than to have sat in the darkness, cursing the people who borrowed, but did not return, your candle.”

“تعرّفت رفيقاً ذميماً اسمه القلق. لم أسأله مرافقتي ولم يستأذني في ذلك. قفز فوق كتفيّ مثل قردٍ مجنون ولم يفارقني بعدها قط. كلما طردته من كتف قفز إلى الآخر. وكلما طردته منهما معاً تعلّق بجذع شجرة بعض الوقت ثم لا يلبث أن ينقضّ على رقبتي مرةً أخرى. لم يتركني أهجع ليلةً حتى يجعل صباحها قاتماً مثل قرارة بئر. ولم أتنفس طمأنينة الصباح حتى يجعل الغروب يأتي مثل وحشٍ سيتغذى عليّ طيلة الليل. ضاقت في عيني الدنيا حتى لم أعد أرى شيئاً في حجمه الحقيقي. كل شر يبدو هائلاً ومخيفاً وكل خير يبدو طارئاً وضئيلاً. أرتجف في هدأة الليل أحياناً من فرط القلق مثل محمومٍ بدون حمّى. ويأتي الصباح وقد أنهكني التعب وكأن عينيّ لم تغمضا طيلة الليل. صغرت في عينيّ كل شؤون الحياة حتى صار ينقضي يومٌ بأكمله لا أقوم فيه بشيء إلا صلواتي. أسابيع تليها أسابيع والقلق هو محرك كل ساكن ومسكِّن كل متحرك في حياتي التي أضحت قاتمةً وشائكة. أهمّ بالشيء فأقلق منه فأتركه، وأكون بلا شغل فأقلق فأهمّ بأشياء”

“They that have beauty, let them be thankful for it, and make a good use of it, like any other talent; they that have it not, let them console themselves, and do the best they can without it: certainly, though liable to be over-estimated, it is a gift of God, and not to be despised. ”

“Oh, they have robbed me of the hope. My spirit held so dear; They will not let me hear that voice My soul delights to hear.
They will not let me see that face I so delight to see; And they have taken all thy smiles. And all thy love from me.”
― Agnes Grey
They will not let me see that face I so delight to see; And they have taken all thy smiles. And all thy love from me.”
