“Our mind has its own ideal time, which is no other but the consciousness of the progressive development of our beings.”
― August Wilhelm Schlegel

“Wait for Me

Wait for me, and I'll return
Only wait very hard
Wait when you are filled with sorrow...
Wait in the sweltering heat
Wait when the others have stopped waiting,
Forgetting their yesterdays.

Wait even when from afar no letters come to you
Wait even when others are tired of waiting...
And when friends sit around the fire,
Drinking to my memory,
Wait, and do not hurry to drink to my memory too.

Wait. For I'll return,defying every death.
And let those who do not wait say that I was lucky.
They will never understand that in the midst of death,
You with you waiting saved me.
Only you and I know how I survived.
It's because you waited, as no one else did.”
― Konstantin Simonov

“My mom smiled at me. Her smile kind of hugged me.”
― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

“قد كنت في يوم بريء الوجه
زار الخوف قلبي فانتحر
وحدائقي الخضراء ما عادت تغني
مثلما كانت ...
وصوتي كان في يوم عنيدا وانكسر”
