“Who hears music, feels his solitude
Peopled at once.”
― Robert Browning, The complete poetical works of Browning

“عندما تبكي أمي أحترق مثل الأغصان الجافة. لا أفكر في أسباب منطقية، فقط أكتشف أننا شخص واحد، يبكي بعيون أربع”
― محمد حسن علوان

“Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“Clutter and mess show us that life is being lived...Tidiness makes me think of held breath, of suspended animation... Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist's true friend. What people somehow forgot to mention when we were children was that we need to make messes in order to find out who we are and why we are here.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
