“الحقيقة ان العالم اكثر من متخم بحوادث مثل هذة ، هو انتظر و هي تخلفت ، هي انتظرت و هو لم يأت ، و في العمق ، و ليبق هذا بيننا نحن الارتيابيين و الجاحدين ، هذا افضل من كسر في الساق”
― José Saramago, Death with Interruptions

“I am dirty, Milena, endlessly dirty, that is why I make such a fuss about cleanliness. None sing as purely as those in deepest hell; it is their singing we take for the singing of angels.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“يوم من دون قراءة يخلف في النفس نوعا من تأنيب الضمير الذي يعتري المؤمن إذا ما فاته الفرض”
― إبراهيم أصلان, شيء من هذا القبيل

“In other words, you might say that I still have no understanding of what makes human beings tick. My apprehension on discovering that my concept of happiness seemed to be completely at variance with that of everyone else was so great as to make me toss sleeplessly and groan night after night in my bed. It drove me indeed to the brink of lunacy. I wonder if I have actually been happy. People have told me, really more times than I can remember, ever since I was a small boy, how lucky I was, but I have always felt as if I were suffering in hell. It has seemed to me in fact that those who called me lucky were incomparably more fortunate than I.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
