“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
― Joan Didion, The White Album

“Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.”
― Plato

“بلا هدى أسير في شوارع تمتد

وينتهي الطريق إذا بآخـر يطل

تقاطعُ ،

تقاطع

مدينتي طريقها بلا مصير

فأين أنت يا حبيبتي

لكي نسير

معا......،

فلا نعود،

لانصل”
― أمل دنقل

“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”
― Plato
