W.B. Yeats
“Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.”
W.B. Yeats

Pau Casals
“The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.”
Pablo Casals

W.B. Yeats
“Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O Never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.”
W. B. Yeats, In the Seven Woods: Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age

Milan Kundera
“The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.”
Milan Kundera, Ignorance

أبو نواس
“دع المساجد للــعباد تسكنها***وطف بنا حول خمار ليسقينا
ما قال ربك ويل للذين سكروا***ولكن قال ويل للمـصلينا”
أبو نواس
