“I love you,' Buttercup said. 'I know this must come as something of a surprise to you, since all I've ever done is scorn you and degrade you and taunt you, but I have loved you for several hours now, and every second, more. I thought an hour ago that I loved you more than any woman has ever loved a man, but a half hour after that I knew that what I felt before was nothing compared to what I felt then. But ten minutes after that, I understood that my previous love was a puddle compared to the high seas before a storm. Your eyes are like that, did you know? Well they are. How many minutes ago was I? Twenty? Had I brought my feelings up to then? It doesn't matter.' Buttercup still could not look at him. The sun was rising behind her now; she could feel the heat on her back, and it gave her courage. 'I love you so much more now than twenty minutes ago that there cannot be comparison. I love you so much more now then when you opened your hovel door, there cannot be comparison. There is no room in my body for anything but you. My arms love you, my ears adore you, my knees shake with blind affection. My mind begs you to ask it something so it can obey. Do you want me to follow you for the rest of your days? I will do that. Do you want me to crawl? I will crawl. I will be quiet for you or sing for you, or if you are hungry, let me bring you food, or if you have thirst and nothing will quench it but Arabian wine, I will go to Araby, even though it is across the world, and bring a bottle back for your lunch. Anything there is that I can do for you, I will do for you; anything there is that I cannot do, I will learn to do. I know I cannot compete with the Countess in skills or wisdom or appeal, and I saw the way she looked at you. And I saw the way you looked at her. But remember, please, that she is old and has other interests, while I am seventeen and for me there is only you. Dearest Westley--I've never called you that before, have I?--Westley, Westley, Westley, Westley, Westley,--darling Westley, adored Westley, sweet perfect Westley, whisper that I have a chance to win your love.' And with that, she dared the bravest thing she'd ever done; she looked right into his eyes.”

“Like any child, I slid into myself perfectly fitted, as a diver meets her reflection in a pool. Her fingertips enter the fingertips on the water, her wrists slide up her arms. The diver wraps herself in her reflection wholly, sealing it at the toes, and wears it as she climbs rising from the pool, and ever after.”

“أَخجل من الله ،
إذا نادى المنادي للصَلاة وصدح بصوته،
"الصلاة خير من النوم"
فأُعجّل لتَلبية النداء حبا بالله وتقربا منه وخَجلاً .!.
فما بال الذين لا يسمعون وإذا سمعوا لا يُلبّونْ.!.
أَين سَيذهبون بوجوههم من الله .!.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

“جئت من أين؟ لعلي لست أدري!
إنما أنت جميع الناس في الدنيا وكل الأصدقاء ، جئت في وقتك جدا لو تأخرت قليلا لامتطيت قطارهم وحدي وغادرت تماما لرصيف الغرباء
جئت صادقا مثل ضميري, مثل أمي طيبا جئت ومنحازا لكل الأنقياء
بك امنح القلب المدى
فيطير يجتاز المفاوز والقفار البيد
والأرض البتول
أنا دون وجهك ياحبيب الوجه
يا كل التوقع والغد الآتي
ويا اغنيتي الأولى
وياطفلي الجميل
ممسوخة الأشياء مثقلة الرؤى
لا استطيع مع الزمان تصالحا”
