“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.”
― Franz Kafka

“لا أعرف ما الخطوات التي سأمشيها لا أعرف ما نوع الحقيقة الذي أبحث عنه - أعرف فقط أن عدم معرفتها أمر لا يحتمل بالنسبة لي ”
― جوزيه ساراماجو, كتاب الرسم والخط

“How can love be worthy of its name if one selects solely the pretty things and leaves out the hardships? It is easy to enjoy the good and dislike the bad. Anybody can do that. The real challenge is to love the good and the bad together, not because you need to take the rough with the smooth but because you need to go beyond such descriptions and accept love in its entirety.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love
