آية رباح

“من المهين للحياة أن لا نرى الجمال الا فى الموتى .وأن لا نقدر الناس الا بعد موتهم وأن لا نجرؤ على رؤية من يموتون مثلما كانوا فى حياتهم فعلا .”
― ممدوح عدوان, دفاعًا عن الجنون

“So, the fear of death might be described as the fear of not being able to become whom one had planned to be.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

“Life is not what we live; it is what we imagine we are living.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

“SOLIDAO, LONELINESS.
What is it that we call loneliness. It can't simply be the absence of others, you can be alone and not lonely, and you can be among people and yet be lonely. So what is it? ... it isn't only that others are there, that they fill up the space next to us. But even when they celebrate us or give advice in a friendly conversation, clever, sensitive advice: even then we can be lonely. So loneliness is not something simply connected with the presence of others or with what they do. Then what? What on earth?”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon
