“From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 2

“Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game.”

“أتعلمين ..أي حزن ٍ يبعث المطر..
وكيف يشعر الوحيد فيه بالضياع .. كأن طفلا
بات يهذي قبل أن ينام..

بأن أمه التي أفاق منذ عام ٌ فلم يجدها ..
ثم حين لج في السؤال .. قالوا له
بعد غد ٍ تعود لابد أن تعود ..

فتستفيق ملء روحي نشوة البكاء..
ورعشة ٌ وحشية ٌ تعانق السماء..
كرعشة الطفل إذا خاف من القمر .


مطر.. مطر.. مطر”
― بدر شاكر السياب, أنشودة المطر

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series
