“You don’t have a soul, Doctor. You are a soul. You have a body, temporarily.”
― Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz

“أكثر ما كان يضايقني و يثير النقمة في داخلي كان الزيف الذي رأيته في كل مكان , و قد بدا لي أن جميع من حولي لا يعيشون فعلياً , إنما يتظاهرون بالعيش , و أنهم ولدوا في قوالب معدنية جاهزة , و فضلوا البقاء فيها متخاذلين و متقاعسين عن الخروج من تلك العلب”
― جني فواز الحسن, أنا، هي والأخريات

“I find it much easier to counsel than to be counseled, to reach out to a friend in my small group who is feeling insercure than to reveal my own inseurity. The truth is we don't much like being dependent. We don't enjoy admitting how depeately we long for someone's kindness and involvement. It's so humbling.”
― Larry Crabb

“I hurt myself deeply, though at the time I had no idea how deeply. I should have learned many things from that experience, but when I look back on it, all I gained was one single, undeniable fact. That ultimately I am a person who can do evil. I never consciously tried to hurt anyone, yet good intentions notwithstanding, when necessity demanded, I could become completely self-centred, even cruel. I was the kind of person who could, using some plausible excuse, inflict on a person I cared for a wound that would never heal.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun
