“وضعوني في اناء
ثم قالو لي تأقلم
وانا لست بماء
انا من طين السماء
واذا ضاق انائي بنموي …يتحطم
خيروني ..
بين موت وبقاء
بين ان ارقص فوق الحبل
او ارقص تحت الحبل
فاخترت البقاء
قلت : اعدم
فاخنقوابالحبل صوت الببغاء
وامدوني بصمت ابدي يتكلم”
― أحمد مطر

“What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
