“فلينفجر القلب بلحظة ذل: تعال
انني اكره كل ما فيك ...
و أحبك أحبك أحبك .”
― غادة السمان

“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

“يكرهها لأنها تجرؤ على أن تتحدى عيون الآخرين التى غرسوها فيها , و على أن تكون نفسها .. و لأنه استطاع أن يكون شيء و أى شيء .. إلا نفسه !”
― غادة السمان

“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.”
― Pablo Neruda
