“We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. How else to explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we've never even met?”
― David Foster Wallace

“وجدتك بعضي بل وجدتك كلّي ، حتّى كأنَّ شيئاً لو أصابك أصابني ، وحتّى كأنَّ الموت لو أتاك أتاني”
― علي بن أبي طالب

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
― Franz Kafka

“و من حسن حظي أني أنام وحيداً
فأصغي إلى جسدي
و أصدّق موهبتي في اكتشاف الألم
فأنادي الطبيب، قبيل الوفاة، بعشر دقائق
عشر دقائق تكفي لأحيا مصادفة
و أخيّب ظنّ العدم
مَنْ أنا لأخيّب ظنّ العدم؟”
― محمود درويش, لا أريد لهذي القصيدة أن تنتهي
