“Only children believe they're capable of everything.
They're trusting and fearless; they believe in their own power and get exactly what they want.
When children grow up, they start to realize that they're not as powerful as they thought and that they need other people in order survive.
Then the child begins to love and to hope his love will be requited; and as life goes on, he develops an ever-greater need to be loved in return, even if that means having to give up his power.
We all end up where we are now:
Grown-ups doing everything we can to be accepted and loved.”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph

“We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.”
― Vince Lombardi

“نمت وبين يدي كتاب ظلَّ يرافقني كأنه حلم في ليلة سرمدية .. للكتب مذاق الخلود ،ونكهة الأمل ، ولمسة من شجن ، ورفّة من عشق ..

نعشق فنقرأ ! نجوع فنقرأ ! يباغتنا الحرمان فنهرب إلى القراءة ، ويأكل النّدمُ أصابعنا فنعيد ترميمها بتقليب صفحاتِ كتابٍ استبقيناه في ذاكرة حُلوة لم تُطل المكوث !! "
