“I stood alone in the winter twilight, and I took a deep breath of clear cold air, and I felt beautifully, wonderfully, electrically free”
― Jean Webster, Dear Enemy

“It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones--I've discovered the true secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now. Not to be forever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant. It's like farming. You can have extensive farming and intensive farming; well, I am going to have intensive living after this. I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to know I'm enjoying it while I'm enjoying it. Most people don't live, they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose all sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn't make any difference whether they've reached the goal or not. I've decided to sit down by the way and pile up a lot of little happinesses.”
― Jean Webster, Daddy-Long-Legs

“أشعر أن رؤيتك ستكون مبهجة وأنا أشعر بالكآبة كثيراً في الآونة الآخيرة، تعرف يا عزيزي أنني أحبك حين تكون أمام ناظري أكثر بكثير مما أحبك وأنا أفكر بك على البعد. أعتقد أن لك تأثيراً مخدرات. أحياناً وبعد غيابك بوقت طويل تبدأ رقيتك بالذبول قليلاً، ولكن ما إن أراك حتى يعود كل شيء. لقد كنت بعيد لوقت طويل جدا، فتعال أرجوك واسحرني ثانية.”
― Jean Webster, Dear Enemy

“ليسً عِندي ما أقولُه، إنّي أكرهُ نفسي، هذا ما يجب أن أُصارِحك به، وعليكِ ألا تقتربي من رجلٍ يكره نفسَه.”
― نجيب محفوظ, ميرامار
