“عندما تحب المرأة تحب بصوت عال، وتعبر عن حبها بالصورة والصوت. أما الرجل فيمتص حبه كما تمتص ورقة النشاف قطرة الحبر، ويتآكل قلبه تدريجيًا كما يتآكل محرك السيارة من داخله.”
― نزار قباني, الكتابة عمل انقلابي

“كُلٌّ نسوك, و لم يعودوا يذكرونك في الحياة
و الدهر يدفن في ظلام الموت حتى الذكريات
إلا فؤاداً, ظلّ يخفق في الوجود إلى لقاك
و يودّ لو بَذَلَ الجياة إلى المنيّةِ, و افتداك”
― أبو القاسم الشابي, ديوان أبي القاسم الشابي ورسائله

“Most people fail at whatever they attempt because of an undecided heart. Should I? Should I not? Go forward? Go back? Success requires the emotional balance of a committed heart. When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.
A committed heart does not wait for conditions to be exactly right. Why? Because conditions are never exactly right. Indecision limits the Almighty and His ability to perform miracles in your life. He has put the vision in you -- proceed. To wait, to wonder, to doubt, to be indecisive is to disobey God. -Andy Andrews, The Traveler's Gift”

“Gracie: You have an unusual house. Have you lived here long?
Bobby Tom: A couple of years. I don't much like it myself, but the architect is real proud of it. She calls it urban Stone Age with a Japanese Tahitian influence. I sort of just call it ugly.”
