“He whose wisdom surpasses that of all philosophers, has declared that 'a house divided against itself cannot stand”
― Abraham Lincoln

“You don't believe it because you don't understand," he said hoarsely. "Prosper was different. He wasn't like other
people. He might have hated me, but he loved me too. In his own way. He couldn't help it; not after raising me for all those years." When no one responded – when he saw nothing but expressions of disbelief on the faces around him – Cadel wailed, "He did! He did! I know he did! He only wanted to wreck my life because he wasn't a part of it!"
And as sympathetic hands reached out towards him from every corner of the car, Cadel began to cry like someone whose heart was breaking.”
― Catherine Jinks, The Genius Wars

“Write me what you're wearing! Is it warm?
Write me how you lie! Do you lie there softly?
Write me how you look! Is it still the same?
Write me what you're missing! Is it my arm?

Write me how you are! Have you been spared?
Write me what they're doing! Do you have enough courage?
Write me what you're doing! Is it good?
Write me, who are you thinking of? Is it me?

Freely, I've given you only my questions.
And I hear the answers, how they fall.
When you're tired, I can't carry it for you.

If you're hungry, I have nothing for you to eat.
And so now I leave the world
No longer there, as if I've forgotten you.”
― Bertolt Brecht

“مَن يشتري حُلماً مُقابلَ نُور في روحِه،سيتّمنى لو يمتلكُ ذاكرةً رمليّة!”
