“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
― Rumi

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
― Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi

“أنا عنك ما أخبرتهم..لكنهم
لمحوك تغتسلين في أحداقي
أنا عنك ما كلمتهم..لكنهم
قرأوك في حبري وفي أوراقي
للحب رائحة..وليس بوسعها
ألا تفوح مزارع الدراق”
― نزار قباني, كتاب الحب
