“Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads--at least that's where I imagine it--there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”

“وهذا لا يعني أنّ الهُروب هُوَ الحل لِكل شيء ..... مَهما ابتعدت فـلن تَحُل المَسافات شيئاً.”

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

“كانَ الـأحب إلى قلبي .. وكُنت أخشى أن أَفقده ذاتَ يوم، ولذا كانَ عليّ أن أتخلى عنهُ بنفسي، فإذا كان سيسرقُ مني أو سأفقُده في حادث فمن الـأفضل أن أتخلى عنهُ بنفسي.”
