Mother Teresa
“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”
Mother Theresa

Stephen  King
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

Mouloud Benzadi
“قَدْ تَعْصِفُ بِنَا صُرُوفُ الزَّمَان، فَتُفَرِّقُنَا وَتَحْرِمُنَا مِنْ لَذّةِ الرَّاحَةِ والأمَان. وَتُغْرِقُنَا فِي غَوَاهِبِ الآلاَمِ والأحْزَان. لِكِنَّ رُوحِي سَتَظَلُّ تَنْشُدُكِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَان، وَسَيَرْسُمُ خَيَالِي صُورَتَكِ دَوْماً بِأحْلَى الأشْكَالِ والألْوَان. فَأنَا لَعَمْرِي لَنْ أنْسَاكِ مَهْمَا كَان”
Mouloud Benzadi

Coco Chanel
“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
Coco Chanel

Norton Juster
“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
