“The narcissist is like a bucket with a hole in the bottom: No matter how much you put in, you can never fill it up. The phrase “I never feel like I am enough” is the mantra of the person in the narcissistic relationship. That’s because to your narcissistic partner, you are not. No one is. Nothing is.”

“في الطبيعة قوى ثلاث غيبية: الوحي و العقل و القلب. فإن مال المرء جهة الوحي صار ظاهريا. و إن مال جهة العقل صار فيلسوفا. و إن مال جهة القلب صار صوفيا.”

“لا يـمكن لنا تصفية الذكريـات بمجرد ضربة من المكنسه, انها تبقى معشعشـة في داخلنا وتـترقب اللحـظة التي تـنخفض فيها مستوى الحراسة لكي تـنبثق فينا بقوة مضاعفه.”

“Some things cannot be fixed; they can only be carried. Grief like yours, love like yours, can only be carried.
Survival in grief, even eventually building a new life alongside grief, comes with the willingness to bear witness, both to yourself and to the others who find themselves inside this life they didn’t see coming. Together, we create real hope for ourselves,
and for one another. We need each other to survive.
I wish this for you: to find the people you belong with, the ones who will see your pain, companion you, hold you close,
even as the heavy lifting of grief is yours alone. As hard as they may seem to find at times, your community is out there. Look
for them. Collect them. Knit them into a vast flotilla of light that can hold you.”
