“عندما نكون سعداء فعلاً لا يخطر لنا أن نتساءل إن كنا سعداء أم لا ، السعادة تصبح جزء منا ..أنت لا تتساءل إذا كانت يداك في مكانها أم لا ..نحن نتحسس الأشياء فقط عندما نشك في وجودها ”

“Life, as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks. In order to bear it we cannot dispense with palliative measures... There are perhaps three such measures: powerful deflections, which cause us to make light of our misery; substitutive satisfactions, which diminish it; and intoxicating substances, which make us insensible to it.”
― Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

“A half-read book is a half-finished love affair.”
