“The Last Toast

I drink to our demolished hose,
to all this wickedness,
to you, our loneliness together,
I raise my glass -

And to the dead-cold eyes,
the lie that has betrayed us,
the coarse, brutal world, the fact
that God has not saved us.

1934”
― Anna Akhmatova, Selected Poems

“الإنسان المقهور هو فقط من يستطيع فرض القهر حوله”
― Fernando Arrabal

“وأنت لم تجد من نفسك وهي أخص الأشياء بك- مساعدة لك على رضاك، ولا من أخلاط بدنك وهي أقرب الأمور إليك - موافقة لهواك، فكيف تلتمسها من غيرك”
― أبو حيان التوحيدي, الهوامل والشوامل

“For what it’s worth... it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
