“Reader, I married him.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“He is not to them what he is to me," I thought: "he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine- I am sure he is- I feel akin to him- I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him.”
― Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

“Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.”
― Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

“وخطر لي أننا في الماضي كنا نعرف رجال السياسة بفضل الشعراء.
عرفنا سيف الدولة وكافور بسبب المتنبي .. لا العكس. ولكننا نريد اليوم أن نعرف الشاعر بالسياسي.
نقتل شعراءنا بالصمت ونقتلهم بالنسيان. وأردت أن أسأل إبراهيم: إن صح أن الشعراء هم ضمير الأمة، فما مصير الأمة التي تنسى شعراءها؟..

الحب في المنفى
ص39”
