“يقول المعلم : إن كان لابد أن تبكي .. ابك مثل الأطفال. لقد كنت طفلا ذات يوم .. ومن أوائل الأشياء التي تعلمتها في الحياة هو أن تبكي. البكاء جزء من الحياة. إياك أن تنسى أنك حر .. وأن اظهار عواطفك ليس عارا. اصرخ ! انتحب بصوت عال ! اصنع ما يحلو لك من جلبة ! هكذا يبكي الأطفال ويعرفون أسرع طريقة لكي يعودوا إلى هدوئهم .
هل لاحظت كيف يتوقف الأطفال عن البكاء ؟ يتوقفون لأن شيئا ما جذب اهتمامهم ! شئ ما يدعوهم للمغامرة التالية. الأطفال سرعان ما يتوقفون عن البكاء. هكذا سيكون الأمر بالنسبة لك. لكن ذلك لن يحدث إلا إذا بكيت كالأطفال !”
― Paulo Coelho, Maktub

“تمر بك أيام تشعر فيها بان كل شيء يثقل على صدرك
الذين يحبونك والذين يكرهونك والذين يعرفونك والذين لا يعرفونك
تشعر بالحاجة إلى أن تكون وحيدا كغيمة
أن تعيد النظر بأشياء كثيرة
أن تعود إلى ذاتك مشتاقا لتنبشها وتواجهها بعد طول هجر
.أن تفجر كل القنابل الموقوتة التي تسكنك”
― غادة السمان

“في أذني اليمنى صوت الاذان يرتفع،في اذني اليسرى قرع اجراس الكنيسة.في انفي رائحة بخور المعابد البوذية تستقر،انصرفت عن الاصوات والرائحة،والتفتُّ الى نبضات قلبي المطمئنة،فعرفت ان الله..هنا”
― سعود السنعوسي, ساق البامبو

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“يحدث أحيانا أن تقرأ شيئاً يشبهك كثيراً ، حد الألم ، أن تكون الكلمات بمثابة ذاكرة إضافية تندمج مع ذاكرتك ، لتُنجِبَ لك الماضي كأنه واقع يمر أمام عينيك من جديد !”
― نبال قندس, أحلام على قائمة الانتظار

“وقال: يا أمي أنا لا أستطيع العيش مع امرأة لا تملك مفتاحاً لعقلي ولا تشاركني اهتماماتي، إنها لا تقرأ شيئا ولا تريد أن تقرأ،لا تهتم بمشاكل اليوم وتسألني رأيي في مفرش جديد طرّزته، نحن نعيش في أيام عصيبة ولا يصح اليوم أن يقصر الإنسان اهتمامه علي بيته ووظيفته، ولا يفكر إلا في حياته الخاصة. أحتاج إلى شريكة أسكن إليها واثقا من تعاطفها معي، أصدقها عندما ترى أني أخطأت، تزيدني قوة عندما تقول إني على حق، شريكة أحبها وتحبني بدورها، لكني لا أرى فيما حولي سكنا ولا حبا، إنه نوع من تبادل المصالح بترخيص من الدين والمجتمع، وهذا ما لا أرضاه لنفسي.”
― أهداف سويف, The Map of Love

“I want to continue being crazy; living my life the way I dream it, and not the way the other people want it to be.”

“She didn't quite know what the relationship was between lunatics and the moon, but it must be a strong one, if they used a word like that to describe the insane.”
― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

“Once upon a time, powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which the inhabitants drank. Whoever drank that water would go mad.

The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policemen and the inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water, and they thought the king’s decisions were absurd and resolved to take notice of them.

When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. The marched on the castle and called for his abdication.

In despair the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him, saying: ‘Let us go and drink from the communal well. Then we will be the same as them.’

And that was what they did: The king and queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such ‘wisdom’, why not allow him to rule the country?

The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days.”
― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

“We all live in our own world. But if you look up at the starry sky - you'll see that all the different worlds up there combine to form constellations, solar systems, galaxies.”
― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

“أنا لا يعنيني ما تؤمن به
يعنيني ما الذي يمكن أن تفعله بهذا الإيمان
تبني أم تهدم ، تظلم أم تعدل
تسلب أم تمنح ، تحب أم تكره
تحرر أم تستعبد”
― إبراهيم نصر الله
