“Now is the time of fresh starts
This is the season that makes everything new.
There is a longstanding rumor that Spring is the time
of renewal, but that's only if you ignore the depressing
clutter and din of the season. All that flowering
and budding and birthing--- the messy youthfulness
of Spring actually verges on squalor. Spring is too busy,
too full of itself, too much like a 20-year-old to be the best time for reflection, re-grouping, and starting fresh.
For that you need December. You need to have lived
through the mindless biological imperatives of your life (to bud, and flower, and show off) before you can see that a landscape of new fallen snow is THE REAL YOU.
December has the clarity, the simplicity, and the silence you need for the best FRESH START of your life.”
― Vivian Swift, When Wanderers Cease to Roam: A Traveler's Journal of Staying Put

“أخروا عمل اليوم إلى الغد إذا كنتم غير واثقين من أنكم تريدون عمله.. يمكنكم أن تفعلوه غداً، أما ما تفعلونه اليوم فلن يمكنكم أن تمحوه مهما فعلتم، كذلك الكلام..يمكنكم دائماً أن تقولوا ما لم تقولوه لكن لن يمكنكم أن تمسحوا ما قلتم من عقول كل من سمعوه”
― حسن كمال, المرحوم

“و لو أراد الله أن نكون متشابهين ،لخلقنا متشابهين ، لذلك فإن عدم احترام الاختلافات وفرض أفكارك علي الآخرين يعني عدم احترام النظام المقدس الذي أرساه الله”

“It is December, and nobody asked if I was ready.”
