“أماه يوماً ... قد مضيت
وكان قلبي كالزهور..
وغدوت بعدك أجمع الأحلام من بين الصخور..
في كل حلم كنت أفقد بعض أيامي واغتال الشعور..
حتى غدا قلبي مع الأيام....شيئاً من صخور!!
مازلت ياأمي أخاف الحزن..
أن يستل سيفاً في الظلام..
وأرى دماء العمر..
تبكي حظها وسط الزحام..
فلتذكريني كلما همست عيونك بالدعاء
ألا يعود العمر مني للوراء
ألا أرى قلبي مع الأشياء شيئاً من..شقاء”
― فاروق جويدة

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Come sleep with me: We won't make Love, Love will make us.”
― Julio Cortázar

“الضمير: لا يمنعنا من فعل الأشياء السيئة ..
ولكنه يُزعج ما تبقى فينا من أخلاق .. ويُعكر المتعة!”
― محمد الرطيان
