“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”

“It’s awful, telling it like this, isn’t it? As though we didn’t know the ending. As though it could have another ending. It’s like watching Romeo drink poison. Every time you see it you get fooled into thinking his girlfriend might wake up and stop him. Every single time you see it you want to shout, 'You stupid ass, just wait a minute,' and she’ll open her eyes! 'Oi, you, you twat, open your eyes, wake up! Don’t die this time!' But they always do.”
― Elizabeth Wein, Code Name Verity

بس اللى يغلط فيه يجيبه الأرض
أما الصراحة فأمرها سهل
لكن لا تجلب مال ولا تصون عرض”
― صلاح جاهين, رباعيات صلاح جاهين

“A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.”
