Matt Haig
“You will one day experience joy that matches this pain. You will cry euphoric tears at the Beach Boys, you will stare down at a baby’s face as she lies asleep in your lap, you will make great friends, you will eat delicious foods you haven’t tried yet, you will be able to look at a view from a high place and not assess the likelihood of dying from falling. There are books you haven’t read yet that will enrich you, films you will watch while eating extra-large buckets of popcorn, and you will dance and laugh and have sex and go for runs by the river and have late-night conversations and laugh until it hurts. Life is waiting for you. You might be stuck here for a while, but the world isn’t going anywhere. Hang on in there if you can. Life is always worth it.”
Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“If we are to fight discrimination and injustice against women we must start from the home for if a woman cannot be safe in her own house then she cannot be expected to feel safe anywhere.”
Aysha Taryam

Malcolm Gladwell
“You believe someone not because you have no doubts about them. Belief is not the absence of doubt. You believe someone because you don’t have enough doubts about them.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know

“اننا اذ نمارس التفكير العلمى والنقدى نمضى ضد مقاومة شديدة ونسبح ضد تيار عارم من التحيزات المتأصلة والاوهام الجبلية ونتجشم اجتياز العديد من العوائق الطبيعية التى تحول بيننا وبين التفكير الواضح فنحن بطبيعتنا لا نتحمل الغموض ولا نطيق معايشة السر وان بنا نزوعا طبيعيا الى طلب اليقين حيث لا يقين ..والتماس الاجابات البسيطة عن الاسئلة المعقدة .. وشغفا بالدعاوى العريضة ونظريات كل شئ محمولة على ظهر بينة ضامرة هزيلة ..والميل الى الاخذ بالفرضيات التى ترضى رغائبنا وتدغدغ امانينا ..ىوالالتفات الى اضغاث من الامثلة التى تؤيد فرضيتنا وغض الطرف عن تلال من الامثلة المفندة .. والى تذكر الرميات الصائبة وتناسى الرميات الخائبة ..والى اخذ الاستعارات التوضيحية والتشبيهات المقربة مأخذ الدليل والى الانضواء مع القطيع والتلفع بالرايات والانضمام للزفة ..والى قتل الرسل بدل من تفنيد الرسالة والى التخلص من عبء البرهان والقائه على عاتق الخصم والى التعويل الزائد على السلطة والانبهارالزائد بالمشاهير والى التعميم الكاسح المتسرع الى آخر تلك الاغاليط التى نغرق فيها الى الاذقان”

“If you are the type of person who thinks too much about stuff then there is nothing lonelier in the world than being surrounded by a load of people on a different wavelength.”
