“Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread.”
― Richard Wright, Native Son

“- هل يرضيه الظلم ياجدتي؟
- كلا يابني.
- لم يسكت عنه؟
- من يدري يابني، ربما لسخطه على تهاون الناس مع الظالم”
― نجيب محفوظ, الحرافيش

“God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of "parties" with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
