Close Enough

“من يلم هذا البكاء ويهديه إلى أمي ,
لقد أرهقتها بالغياب ,
صارت في الشوارع محسورة الرأس
تبحث عن بكاءٍ تستر به الأرض .
أعطوها بكاء أسعفوها لكي تصبر علي ,
فإنني أمعن في التيه”
― قاسم حداد

“حلمي أن أخرج من الحياة بنفس النقاء الذي جئت به إليها”
― سلمان العودة, لو كنت طيرًا

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“By the time the day to be released arrived, I was grateful that my father had passed on. If he had raised me on his own, it was almost certain that we were close, and that he loved me a great deal. For all I knew, I had been his whole world. How would it be to have a son who couldn't remember playing catch with you, who couldn't remember all the scrapes you'd got him out of as a kid, and who didn't love you anymore because he didn't know you? I was saddened he was dead, but glad I didn't have to hurt him.”
― Bobby Underwood, Dark Corridor
