“الله الكريم سمح لنا أن ندخل عليه فى أى وقت بلا ميعاد، ونبقى في حضرته ما شئنا وندعوه ما وسعنا.. بمجرد أن نبسط سجادة الصلاة ونقول "الله أكبر" نصبح فى حضرته نطلب منه ما نشاء.
أين هو الملك الذى نستطيع أن ندخل عليه بلا ميعاد ونلبث في حضرته مانشاء؟!”
― مصطفى محمود, حوار مع صديقي الملحد

A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“But we have other lives, I think, I hope,’ she murmured. 'We live in others, … We live in things.”
― Virginia Woolf, Between the Acts

“Tenderness is not weakness; it is fortitude.”
