“People are confused and unsure, they seek answers to guide them to joy, tranquillity, self-knowledge, salvation―but they also demand that it be easy to learn, that it require little or no effort, that results be quickly obtained.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Being

“when you walk, you look like you’re trying to disappear.
your back is gonna be fucked up.
why do you think change is so hard? is it because you’re afraid?
people might think you’re pretty, but they’ll never love you.
you talk like you’re apologizing for your own voice.
speak up.
grow up.
find your spine, stop shrinking.
there is nothing brave about keeping silent.
how many times have you been in love? I can’t picture it ever happening for you.
you lie because it makes you feel free. this is a prison.
you’re always gonna think about him. you will never get him out of your system.
I wish I never had to see you again.
you poor thing.
go to hell.
you may be a nice person but you will never be a good person.
no one is ever going to want to touch you.
is there a vision in your head of who you want to be?
you do not have the strength to become her.
there is no boat big enough to keep you from drowning in the sea of yourself.
go to bed, baby.
you are tired from all of this nothing.
sleep.
rest.”

“إذا المرء لا يرعاك إلا تكلفاً.. فدعه ولا تُكثِر عليه التأسفا
ففي الناس أبدال وفي الترك راحةٌ.. وفي القلب صبرٌ للحبيب ولو جفا
فما كل من تهواه يهواكَ قلبُه.. ولا كل من صافيته لك قد صفا
إذا لم يكن صفو الوداد طبيعةً.. فلا خيرَ في ودٍ يجئُ تكلٌفا
ولا خيرَ في خِلٍ يخون خليله.. ويلقاهُ من بعدِ المودة بالجفا
ويُنكِرُ عيشاً قد تقادم عهدهُ.. ويُظهِرُ سراً كان بالأمس قد خفا
سلامٌ على الدنيا إذا لم يكن بها.. صديقٌ صدوقٌ صادقُ الوعدِ مُنصِفا”
― محمد بن إدريس الشافعي
