“الحريَّة... الحريَّة... الحريَّة
هي ما أطلب
أن أضمَّ المرأة
و أسحب القمر من أنفه إلى غرفتي
أن أرقص و أرقص و أرقص
حتَّى تتعب الموسيقى
أن أحملك أيُّها العالم
أهدهدك كطفل
و أزعل منك إذا أخطأت في الحساب”
― رياض الصالح الحسين, بسيط كالماء واضح كطلقة مسدس

― Judith Martin, Common Courtesy: In Which Miss Manners Solves the Problem That Baffled Mr. Jefferson

“Art hurts. Art urges voyages - and it is easier to stay at home.”
