ويحدّق في الأرض
علَّها تمطر *”
― وديع سعادة, قل للعابر أن يعود نسي هنا ظله

“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“فعلى قدر ما يغوص الحزن في أعماقكم يزيد ما تستوعبون من فرح، أليست الكأس التي تحمل خمركم هي هي الكأس التي احترقت في اتون الفخارى؟ و أليست القيثارة التي تسكن إليها نفوسكم هي هي قطعه الخشب التي حفرتها السكين”
― جبران خليل جبران

“We have art in order not to die of the truth.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
