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

“HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT REASONABLE creatures. Instead of being ruled by logic, we are ruled by emotions. The world would be a happier place if the opposite were true. For example, based on a single phone call, I have begun to hope for a miracle.”

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

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

“الموت هو الموجه الأكبر.
إننا نحيا كأننا لن نموت أبدا، بيد أنه لتحقيق شيء ما في حياتنا، علينا أن نستحضر دائما في أذهاننا حتمية الموت.”
― غيوم ميسو - عائد لأبحث عنك
