“In November, some birds move away and some birds stay. The air is full of good-byes and well-wishes. The birds who are leaving look very serious. No silly spring chirping now. They have long journeys and must watch where they are going. The staying birds are serious, too, for cold times lie ahead. Hard times. All berries will be treasures.”
― Cynthia Rylant, In November: A Lyrical Thanksgiving Picture Book about Family, Blessings, and the Cozy Beauty of Autumn

“When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
― William Saroyan

“في أذني اليمنى صوت الاذان يرتفع،في اذني اليسرى قرع اجراس الكنيسة.في انفي رائحة بخور المعابد البوذية تستقر،انصرفت عن الاصوات والرائحة،والتفتُّ الى نبضات قلبي المطمئنة،فعرفت ان الله..هنا”
― سعود السنعوسي, ساق البامبو

“The biggest mistake we make is that we build our homes in other people. We build those homes and we decorate them with the love and care and respect that makes us feel safe at the end of the day. We invest in other people, and we evaluate our self-worth based on how much those homes welcome us. But what many don’t realize is that when you build your home in other people, you give them the power to make you homeless. When those people walk away, those homes walk away with them, and all of a sudden, we feel empty because everything that we had within us, we put into them. We trusted someone else with pieces of us. The emptiness we feel doesn’t mean we have nothing to give, or that we have nothing within us. It’s just that we built our home in the wrong place.”
