“You don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas, which says to the painter, ‘You can't do a thing’.”
― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

“لا تبق فقط لأنك تخشى وجع الفراق
لا تمكث لأنك اعتدت الجوار والصحبة
لا تنتظر فقط لأنك لا تحتمل الوحدة
لا تشوِّه روحك بالبقاء في علاقة تؤذيك”
― عماد رشاد عثمان, أحببت وغدًا: التعافي من العلاقات المؤذية

“إن عليك أن تأتي إليه وأن تُخبره بما يعتمل فيك، دون أملٍ بأن يكتشفه هو بنفسه بشكل عفويّ. وهذا يُفسد مقدِّماً سرورك باستجابتِه، ويُعيق انسجاماً لطالما حلُمتَ به قبل البدء بالبوح.”
― بول أوستر, The Invention of Solitude

“You should be proud of yourself for sticking with it and never giving up. You were amazing in your persistence. It didn't happen by magic! Remember when I called out to you on that day? Your life didn't suddenly transform by itself, did it? None of your problems suddenly fixed themselves, did they? But you looked to the future and preserved. You have what you have today because you never gave up telling yourself that you had to be happy.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before Your Memory Fades
