“قال: الليالي جرعتني علقما
قلت: ابتسم ولئن جرعت العلقما!

فلعل غيرك إن رآك مرنما
طرح الكآبة جانبا وترنما

أتراك تغنم بالتبرم درهما
أم أنت تخسر بالبشاشة مغنما؟!

يا صاح لا خطر على شفتيك أن
تتثلما والوجه أن يتحطما

فاضحك فإن الشهب تضحك والدجى
متلاطم ولذا نحب الأنجما”
― إيليا أبو ماضي

“و كن من أنتَ حيث تكون
و احمل عبءَ قلبِكَ وحدهُ”
― محمود درويش

“When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

“I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend
