“Everything, except boredom, bores me. I’d like, without being calm, to calm down,
To take life every day
Like a medicine—
One of those medicines everybody takes.

I aspired to so much, dreamed so much, That so much so much made me into nothing.
My hands grew cold
From just waiting for the enchantment
Of the love that would warm them up at last.

Cold, empty
Hands.”
― Fernando Pessoa, A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems

“أنا الصوفيُّ
والشَّهوانُ
عَشَّاقًا
ومعشُوقا
~
أسيرُ
بقلبِ قِدِّيسٍ
وإن حسِبُوهُ
زنديقا
~
وحين أحبُّ
سيدةً
أحوِّلها لموسيقا!”
― أحمد بخيت, الليالي الأربع

“XIII
Lightly, lightly, very lightly
A very light wind passes,
And it goes away just as lightly,
And I don’t know what I’m thinking,
Nor do I wish to know.”
― Fernando Pessoa, A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems

“You’re a storyteller. Dream up something wild and improbable," she pleaded. "Something beautiful and full of monsters."

“Beautiful and full of monsters?"

“All the best stories are.”
― Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer
