“there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other
one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.

it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.

or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone

untouched
unspoken to

watering a plant.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“ليس هناك شىء يسمى الحرية
وأكثرنا حرية هو عبد للمبادىء التى يؤمن بهاوللغرض الذى يسعى إليه إننا نطالب بالحرية لنضعها فى خدمة أغراضنا ........وقبل أن تطالب بحريتك إسئل نفسك لأى غرض سوف تهبها”
― إحسان عبداالقدوس

“It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
― Groucho Marx
