“يابخت من يقدر يقول ....
واللى فى ضميره يطلعه...
يابخت من يقدر يفضفض بالكلام ...
وكل واحد يسمعه...
يقف فى وسط الناس يصرخ .. أأأأه ياناس
ولاملام
يجى الطبيب يحكى له ع اللى بيوجعه ...
يكشف مكان الجرح ويحط الدوا ...
ولو أنكوى
يقدر ينوح
وأنا اللى مليان بالجروح ...
مأقدرش أقول
ماأقدرش أبوح
والسهم يسكن صدرى ماأقدرش أنزعه”
― صلاح جاهين, عن القمر والطين

“على اسم مصر التاريخ يقدر يقول ما شاء
أنا مصر عندي أحب وأجمل الأشياء
بحبها وهي مالكة الأرض شرق وغرب
وبحبها وهي مرمية جريحة حرب
بحبها بعنف وبرقة وعلى استحياء
واكرهها وألعن أبوها بعشق زي الداء
واسيبها واطفش في درب وتبقى هي ف درب
وتلتفت تلاقيني جنبها في الكرب
والنبض ينفض عروقي بألف نغمة وضرب”
― صلاح جاهين

“إلهى لا تعذبنى، فإنى مُقِرٌ بالذى قد كان مني
و ما لى حيلة، إلا رجائى لعفوك إن عفوت و حسن ظني
فكم من زلة لى فى البرايا، و أنت علي ذو فضل و مَنِّ
إذا فكرت فى ندمي عليها، عضَضت أناملي و قَرَعْت سِنِّي
يظن الناس بى خيرا،و إنى لشر الناس، إن لم تعف عني
أُجن بزهرة الدنيا جنونا، و أفنى العمر فيها بالتمنى
و بين يدى مُحتَبس ثقيل، كأنى قد دُعيت له، كأني
و لو أني صدقت الزهد فيها، قَلَبْتُ لأهلها ظهر المِجَنّ
مُحتبس : أى أن بين يديه منسكاً ثقيل الوطأة عليه كأنه قد دعي إليه و لكن الدنيا صرفته عنه”
― أبو العتاهية, ديوان أبي العتاهية

― مصطفى محمود, الذين ضحكوا حتى البكاء

“And God,
please let the deer
on the highway
get some kind of heaven.
Something with tall soft grass
and sweet reunion.
Let the moths in porch lights
go some place
with a thousand suns,
that taste like sugar
and get swallowed whole.
May the mice
in oil and glue
have forever dry, warm fur
and full bellies.
If I am killed
for simply living,
let death be kinder
than man.”
― Althea Davis

“You tried to change didn’t you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do love
split his head open?
you can’t make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.”
― Warsan Shire

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
― Mary Oliver

“Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see ...each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition-- all such distortions within our own egos-- condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That's how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other's naked hearts.”
― Tennessee Williams

“I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth. And it that's sinful, then let me be damned for it!”
― Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire
