“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“كانت أحاديث السهرة تدور
فقلت :
حدثونا عن غير الموت
قالوا: نحكي عن الحرب
قلت: عن غير الحرب
قالوا: نحكي عن دموع المشردين
قلت: عن غير دموعهم
قالوا: عن المنتظرين
قلت: عن غير المنتظرين
قالوا: لا نعرف غير هذا فعمّ نحكي
قلت: اسهروا كما تسهر الحيطان
لا تتكلموا عن شيء
وانظروا بعضكم الى بعض
علّ الوجوه تتحادث”
― زياد الرحباني, صديقي الله

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
