“Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life's quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result -- eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly -- in you.”
Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything

Virginia Woolf
“So boasting of her capacity to surround and protect, there was scarcely a shell of herself left for her to know herself by; all was so lavished and spent; and James, as he stood stiff between her knees, felt her rise in a rosy-flowered fruit tree laid with leaves and dancing boughs into which the beak of brass, the arid scimitar of his father, the egotistical man, plunged and smote, demanding sympathy.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

William Shakespeare
“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Patrick Süskind
“He had withdrawn solely for his own personal pleasure, only to be near to himself. No longer distracted by anything external, he basked in his own existence and found it splendid.”
Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

غازي عبدالرحمن القصيبي
“يا عالم الغيبِ! ذنبي أنتَ تعرفُه
وأنت تعلمُ إعلاني.. وإسراري
وأنتَ أدرى بإيمانٍ مننتَ به
علي.. ما خدشته كل أوزاري
أحببتُ لقياكَ.. حسن الظن يشفع لي
أيرتُجَى العفو إلاّ عند غفَّارِ؟ .”
غازي القصيبي
