“Whomever you become, whatever you make yourself into, that is who you always were.”

“إن كل إنسان في هذا العصر يجهد في سبيل أن يتذوق الحياة كاملة، ساعيًا في سبيل ذاته، مبتعدًا عن أقرانه. لكن هيهات أن تؤدي هذه الجهود إلى تذوق الحياة كاملة، فهي لا تقود إلا إلى فناء النفس، لأن الإنسان بدلًا من أن يفهم ذاته يستغرق في عزلة تامة... إن الإنسان يُكدِّس الخيرات في العزلة، وتسره القوة التي يحسب أنه يملكها بذلك، إنه لا يرى لحماقته أنه كلما أوغل في التكديس كان يغوص في عجز قاتل، ذلك أنه يتعوَّد ألا يعتمد إلا على نفسه، ويفقد إيمانه بالتعاون.”

“The Wind Will Carry Us
In my night, so brief, alas
The wind is about to meet the leaves.
My night so brief is filled with devastating anguish
Hark! Do you hear the whisper of the shadows?
This happiness feels foreign to me.
I am accustomed to despair.
Hark! Do you hear the whisper of the shadows?
There, in the night, something is happening
The moon is red and anxious.
And, clinging to this roof
That could collapse at any moment,
The clouds, like a crowd of mourning women,
Await the birth of the rain.
One second, and then nothing.
Behind this window,
The night trembles
And the earth stops spinning.
Behind this window, a stranger
Worries about me and you.
You in your greenery,
Lay your hands – those burning memories –
On my loving hands.
And entrust your lips, replete with life's warmth,
To the touch of my loving lips
The wind will carry us!
The wind will carry us!”
