“لماذا جِـئـتَ تَـطـلبُ أن أضحي وأنسى نَزفَ جُرحيِ
أجِـئْـتَ مُـواسياً يا صديـقي أم يُـهـمُـكَ أن ترى آثـارَ ذبـحــي؟
نـعـم أنا الذّبـيـحُ وأنت مِـثـلي تُـقـاسـي نـارَ جُـرحٍ ذاتَ لـفـحِ
لقد أغـلـقْـتُ دونكَ بابَ قـلبـي، فلا تَقرَع بـِقـبـضَـةِ نادمٍ إن شِئتَ نُصحِي
لماذا عُـدتَ تَـنـفُـخُ فـي رَمَادي وجَمْراً نائـمـاً فـيـه تُـــصــحي؟
زرعـنا في ثرى الود ورداً فرويته من آبـارِ مـلــــــــــحِ
ماتَ الـوردُ وضاعت جـهـودُك في إغـاثـتـه وكـــدحِ
ولـيـس يـُفـيـدُني مِنـك اعتذارٌ ولا يُجـدي التراجعُ و الـتـنـحّي
ولستُ مُبدلاً حُــبــّــــــي بكرهٍ ولا عِــــزّ الجـبـال بـذُلِ سَـفْـح
مـعـارِكُـنـا انتـهَت مـعـارِكُـنـا انتـهَت
أفلا تَراني قد رميتُ مُـهـنـّدي وكسرتُ رُمحي؟”

“No one needs a relationship. What you need is the basic cop-on to figure that out, in the face of all the media bullshit screaming that you're nothing on your own and you're a dangerous freak if you disagree. The truth is, if you don't exist without someone else, you don't exist at all. And that doesn't just go for romance. I love my ma, I love my friends, I love the bones of them. If any of them wanted me to donate a kidney or crack a few heads, I'd do it, no questions asked. And if they all waved good-bye and walked out of my life tomorrow, I'd still be the same person I am today.”

“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.”
― The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

“When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.”
