“It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;—it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

“Would you like to know your future?

If your answer is yes, think again. Not knowing is the greatest life motivator.

So enjoy, endure, survive each moment as it comes to you in its proper sequence -- a surprise.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“الحقيقة أن الأمل ساورني ، لفترة وجيزة ، عدة أشهر ربما . بعد الثورة مباشرة صدقت . أنا الذي لا يصدق شيئا ، صدقت بيني وبين نفسي . لم أقل لأحد ، ولم أفعل شيئا ، لكن الحقيقة أن الأمل تسلل إليّ . هذه هي المشكلة : اني صدقت ، رغما عني صدقت . ثم توالت الأحداث ، وتحول املي إلى خيبة أكبر . الأمل وهم مؤلم .”
― عزالدين شكري فشير, كل هذا الهراء
