Charles Dickens
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“I don't swear just for the hell of it. Language is a poor enough means of communication. I think we should use all the words we've got. Besides, there are damn few words that anybody understands.

Henry Drummond, a character in Inherit the Wind”
Jerome Lawrence, Inherit the Wind: The Powerful Courtroom Drama in which Two Men Wage the Legal War of the Century

“Progress has never been a bargain. You have to pay for it.
Sometimes I think there's a man who sits behind a counter and says, "All right, you can have a telephone but you lose privacy and the charm of distance.
Madam, you may vote but at a price. You lose the right to retreat behind the powder puff or your petticoat.
Mister, you may conquer the air but the birds will lose their wonder and the clouds will smell of gasoline.

Henry Drummond, a character in Inherit the Wind”
Jerome Lawrence, Inherit the Wind: The Powerful Courtroom Drama in which Two Men Wage the Legal War of the Century

صلاح عبد الصبور
“يا صاحبي، إني حزين
طلع الصباح، فما ابتسمت، ولم ينر وجهي الصباح
في غرفتي دلف المساء
والحزن يولد في المساء لأنه حزن ضرير
حزن طويل كالطريق من الجحيم الى الجحيم
حزن صموتْ
والصمت لا يعني الرضاء بأن أمنية تموت
وبأن أياماً تفوت
وبأن مرفقنا وَهَنْ
وبأن ريحاً من عَفَنْ
مس الحياة، فأصبحت وجميع ما فيها مقيت
حزن تمدد في المدينه
كاللص في جوف السكينه
كالأفعوان بلا فحيح
الحزن قد قهر القلاع جميعها وسبى الكنوز
وأقام حكاماً طغاه
الحزن قد سمل العيون
الحزن قد عقد الجباه
ليقيم حكاماً طغاه
يا تَعْسَها من كِلْمة قد قالها يوماً صديق
مغرى بتزويق الكلام:
«سنعيش رغم الحزن، نقهره، ونضع في الصباح
أفراحنا البيضاء، افراح الذين لهم صباح»..
ورنا إليَّ...
ولم تكن بشراه مما قد يصدقه الحزينْ
يا صاحبي!
زوِّق حديثك، كل شيء قد خلا من كل ذوق
أما أنا، فلقد عرفت نهاية الحدر العميق
الحزن يفترش الطريق...”
صلاح عبد الصبور, الناس في بلادي

“Don't have any opinions. They're bad for business.”
