“A passion for music is in itself an avowal. We know more about a stranger who yields himself up to it than about someone who is deaf to music and whom we see every day.”
― Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

“I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself. You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.”
― Jelaluddin Rumi

“أتعلمين ..أي حزن ٍ يبعث المطر..
وكيف يشعر الوحيد فيه بالضياع .. كأن طفلا
بات يهذي قبل أن ينام..

بأن أمه التي أفاق منذ عام ٌ فلم يجدها ..
ثم حين لج في السؤال .. قالوا له
بعد غد ٍ تعود لابد أن تعود ..

فتستفيق ملء روحي نشوة البكاء..
ورعشة ٌ وحشية ٌ تعانق السماء..
كرعشة الطفل إذا خاف من القمر .


مطر.. مطر.. مطر”
― بدر شاكر السياب, أنشودة المطر

“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov
