“إذا كانت البدايات وحدها جميلة، دعنا نبدأ مجددًا.. دعنا نبدأ مرارًا وتكرارًا، دعنا لا ننتهي أبدًا، دعنا لا نتوسط ولا نتعمق ولا نمل فننتهي، دعنا نبدأ ثم ننسى اننا بدأنا ونعيد البداية، وننسى إلى اللانهاية.”
― ديستويفسكي

“الألم الذي يعانيه الإنسان من الخيبة معيار للأمل الذي كان يخبئه في قلبه”
― Christa Wolf, هذا الجسد

“I take my compliments the same way I take my coffee. I don’t drink coffee.”
― Rudy Francisco, Helium

“To feel everything in every way; to be able to think with the emotions and feel with the mind; not to desire much except with the imagination; to suffer with haughtiness; to see clearly so as to write accurately; to know oneself through diplomacy and dissimulation; to become naturalized as a different person, with all the necessary documents; in short, to use all sensations but only on the inside, peeling them all down to God and then wrapping everything up again and putting it back in the shop window like the sales assistant I can see from here with the small tins of a new brand of shoe polish.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
