    “With the growing popularity in e-learning, it occurred to me that the e should mean more than electronic. If we are going to call it e-learning, shouldn't it be effective, efficient, and engaging?”

    أبو القاسم الشابي
    “ومن يتهيب صعود الجبال يعش أبَــدَ الدهــر بيــن الحــفرْ
    فعجَّــتْ بقلبــي دمــاءُ الشـباب وضجَّــت بصـدري ريـاحٌ أخَـرْ...
    وأطـرقتُ, أصغـي لقصـف الرعـودِ وعــزفِ الريــاحِ, ووقـعِ المطـرْ”

    أبو القاسم الشابي
    “أُبــارك فـي النـاس أهـلَ الطمـوح ومــن يســتلذُّ ركــوبَ الخــطرْ
    وألْعــنُ مــن لا يماشــي الزمـانَ ويقنـــع بــالعيْشِ عيشِ الحجَــرْ
    هــو الكــونُ حـيٌّ, يحـبُّ الحيـاة ويحــتقر المَيْــتَ, مهمــا كــبُرْ
    فـلا الأفْـق يحـضن ميْـتَ الطيـورِ ولا النحــلُ يلثــم ميْــتَ الزهـرْ
    ولــولا أمُومــةُ قلبِــي الــرّؤوم لَمَــا ضمّــتِ الميْـتَ تلـك الحُـفَرْ
    فــويلٌ لمــن لــم تشُــقه الحيـاة, مِــن لعنــة العــدم المنتصِـرْ!”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    Robert Frost
    “Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I've tasted of desire,
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.”

    If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar

    If youre a pretender com sit by my fire
    For we have some flax golden tales to spin
    Come in!
    Come in!”

    Lord Byron
    “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

    There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not man the less, but Nature more”

    W.H. Auden

    T.S. Eliot
    “We are the hollow men
    We are the stuffed men
    Leaning together
    Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
    Our dried voices, when
    We whisper together
    Are quiet and meaningless
    As wind in dry grass
    Or rats' feet over broken glass
    In our dry cellar
    Shape without form, shade without colour,
    Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

    - The Hollow Men”
    ― T.S. Eliot, Poems: 1909-1925
