“ﺃﺧﻔﻲ ﺍﻟﻬﻮﻯ ﻭﻣﺪﺍﻣﻌﻲ ﺗﺒﺪﻳﻪ
ﻭﺃﻣﻴﺘﻪ ﻭﺻﺒﺎﺑﺘﻲ ﺗﺤﻴﻴﻪ

ﻭﻣﻌﺬﺑﻲ ﺣﻠﻮ ﺍﻟﺸﻤﺎﺋﻞ ﺃﻫﻴﻒ
ﻗﺪ ﺟﻤﻌﺖ ﻛﻞ ﺍﻟﻤﺤﺎﺳﻦ ﻓﻴﻪ

ﻓﻜﺄﻧﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﺤﺴﻦ ﺻﻮﺭﺓ ﻳﻮﺳﻒ
ﻭﻛﺄﻧﻨﻲ ﺑﺎﻟﺤﺰﻥ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺃﺑﻴﻪ

ﻳﺎ ﻣﺤﺮﻗﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻭﺟﻪ ﻣﺤﺒﻪ
ﻣﻬﻼً ﻓﺈﻥ ﻣﺪﺍﻣﻌﻲ ﺗﻄﻔﻴﻪ

ﺃﺣﺮﻕ ﺑﻬﺎ ﺟﺴﺪﻱ ﻭﻛﻞ ﺟﻮﺍﺭﺣﻲ
ﻭﺍﺣﺮﺹ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺒﻲ ﻓﺈﻧﻚ ﻓﻴﻪ

ﺇﻥ ﺃﻧﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﻌﺸﺎﻕ ﻓﻴﻚ ﺻﺒﺎﺑﺘﻲ
ﻓﺄﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻬﻮﻯ ﻭﺍﺑﻦ ﺍﻟﻬﻮﻯ ﻭﺃﺧﻴﻪ”
― ابن الفارض

“Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
― Virginia Woolf

“I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art: I altered the minds of men, and the colour of things: I awoke the imagination of my century so that it created myth and legend around me: I summed up all things in a phrase, all existence in an epigram: whatever I touched I made beautiful”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis and Other Writings

“I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
