“لا تناقش غبياً لأن الناس لن تعرف أيكما الغبي”
― Salvador Dalí

“That's when I realized that certain moments go on forever. Even after they're over they still go on, even after you're dead and buried, those moments are lasting still, backward and forward, on into infinity. They are everything and everywhere all at once.
They are the meaning.”
― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

“كثيرًا ما تعاملتُ مع أشخاص لا يئنون ولا يشتكون من حياتهم أو ظروفهم الخاصة، ثم سرعان ما عرفتُ بعد اقترابي منهم أنهم حقًا لا يئنون ولكن ليس لأن حياتهم خالية مما يستحق الأنين وإنما لأنهم قد تجاوزوا مرحلة البوح والصراخ إلى مرحلة العجز عن الشكوى، أو إلى مرحلة "الصمت.. قوة الانفعال" وهي مرحلة متقدمة من مراحل الألم يفقد الإنسان معها حتى القدرة على الكلام والشكوى والبكاء.
فتعلمتُ هذا الدرس، واستعنتُ به في فهم شخصيات كثيرين يظنهم الغافل سعداء، وهم في الحقيقة "مآس بشرية" تمشي على أقدامها.”
― عبد الوهاب مطاوع, أعط الصباح فرصة

“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
― Christian D. Larson, Your Forces and How to Use Them
