Nicola Yoon
“Everything happens for a reason. This is a thing people say. My mom says it a lot. "Things happen for a reason, Tasha." Usually people say it when something goes wrong, but not too wrong. A nonfatal car accident. A sprained ankle instead of a broken on.
My dad says, "You can't always see God's plan." I want to tell him that maybe he shouldn't leave everything up to God and that hoping against hope is not a life strategy.
People say these things to make sense of the world. Secretly, in their heart of hearts, almost everyone believes that there's some meaning, some willfulness to life. Fairness. Basic decency. Good things happen to good people. Bad things only happen to bad people.
No one wants to believe that life is random. It's better to see life as it is, not as you wish it to be. Things don't happen for a reason. They just happen.”
― Nicola yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

“ترى أي هامش من الحرية يبقى في مجرى حياتنا؟
ترى أي منهما، القدر أو الكارما، يحدد أصلا مجرى حياتنا؟”
― غيوم ميسو - عائد لأبحث عنك

“●الغضب حتما سيقتلك.
○في الغضب تنفيس وشفاء. في الغضب رفض وتمرد.
● الغضب هو الجهل. والجهل هو الألم.”
― غيوم ميسو - عائد لأبحث عنك

“القدر لا وجود له. القدر عذر العاجزين عن تحمل المسؤولية في حياتهم.
إننا في الحقيقة لا نحصد إلا ما نزع.”
― غيوم ميسو - عائد لأبحث عنك

“هذا السبيل عليك تبينه أنت نفسك.
الحكمة لا تقدم جاهزة على طبق، وإلا لما كانت حكمة أصلا.”
― غيوم ميسو - عائد لأبحث عنك
