“I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.”
― Alain de Botton, On Love

“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

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