“To live on, you have to make the good happen. A different life need not be a worse one. You have to decide if you’re the lucky one or not. Why live on otherwise?”

“It's both creepy and out of my control, this ability I have to notice so much about other people when I'm positive no one notices anything at all about me.”

“لا تخبرني بشيء عن مهنة الصحافة يا سيدي فأنا جربت كل شيء.. وأؤكد لك أنه كلما عرف الرجل أقل، كلما علت الضوضاء التي يصنعها وكلما ارتفع الراتب الذي يحصل عليه..”

“Death and life are not in opposition. So when someone tells you to live every day like it’s your last, kindly tell them to fuck off. They’re wrong. You should live every day like it’s your first. Live it like it’s your last and you’ll just run around like the house is on fire. I don’t want a bucket list. I don’t wanna live like I’m dying. I wanna live like I’m living. And I want there to be more possibilities left when I die, not NONE. Why rush to tick off all of those boxes? You don’t get a fucking gold star from God for that. I know now that I am going to spend the rest of my life incomplete. But life was designed to be incomplete. It’s not a worksheet you fill out. It’s an open platform. You do some things, but you also leave behind infinite possibilities for those in your wake. That’s the freedom.”
