You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until someone stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”
“سأحلمُ ، لا لأصلح أيَّ معنىً خارجي
بل كي أرمّم داخلي المهجور
من أثر الجفاف العاطفيِّ . .
حفظت قلبي كله عن ظهر قلبٍ
و لم يعد متطفلاً و مدللاً
تكفيه حبة ” اسبرين ” لكي يلين و يستكين . .”
محمود درويش”

“إننا نموت بشكل متجزئ! يموت الفرح، تموت الذاكرة، تنحني الأشواق
ندخل في الرتابة، ثم ننسحب
نشيخ بسرعة، وبشكل مذهل
شيء ما يتأكل يوميا في داخلنا ولا نشعر”

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
