“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”
― Woody Allen

“أمنيتى المستحيلة أن أمنح فرصة أخرى للعيش.. أن أولد من جديد لكن فى ظروف مغايرة أجىء مزودا بتلك المعارف التى اكتسبتها من وجودى الأول الموشك على النفاد.. أولد وأنا أعلم أن تلك النار تلسع.. وهذا الماء يغرق فيه من لا يتقن العوم.. وتلك النظرة تعنى الود وتلك تعنى التحذير. وتلك تنبئ عن ضغينة.. كم من أوقات أنفقتها لأدرك البديهيات.. ومازلت أتهجى بعض مفردات الأبجدية”
― جمال الغيطاني

“الفرق بين الحب الفاشل والحب الناجح، أن الأول يؤلمك شهرا، في حين الثاني يؤلمك مدى الحياة”

“But will you not have a house to care for? Meals to cook? Children whining for this or that? Will you have time for the work?" "I'll make time," I promised. "The house will not always be so clean, the cooking may be a little hasty, and the whining children will sit on my lap and I'll sing to them while I work.”
