"لتضرعتُ إلىٰ الله أن يجعلني حارسًا لروحك".

And neither the angels in Heaven above
   Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
   Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
   In her sepulchre there by the sea—
   In her tomb by the sounding sea.

-Edgar Allan Poe

‏قالت عيونهم التي انطفأت لتشعلنا عتاب:
‏لا تدفنونا بالنشيد، و خلدونا بالصمود
‏إنّا نسمّد ليلكم لبراعم الضوء الجديد..

-محمود درويش

"In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times."

-Bertolt Brecht

-The unabridged journals of Sylvia Plath

Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past...

-James Joyce

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.

-Sylvia plath

“The feel of her head against his shoulder, of her familiar body, sent a shock of emotion over him. His arms holding her had a tendency to tighten around her.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Violent in nature we can't last."

"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.
The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow."

-Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

فتحت قلبي إلى البدايات الجديدة
وكلّ يوم أعتبره فرصة للبدء من جديد
أعيد بناء نفسي بكُلّ ليلة
وفقط أفتح قلبي للامبالاة الكون الحميدة.
