    Stephen Chbosky
    “Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
    he wrote a poem
    And he called it "Chops"
    because that was the name of his dog

    And that's what it was all about
    And his teacher gave him an A
    and a gold star
    And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
    and read it to his aunts
    That was the year Father Tracy
    took all the kids to the zoo

    And he let them sing on the bus
    And his little sister was born
    with tiny toenails and no hair
    And his mother and father kissed a lot
    And the girl around the corner sent him a
    Valentine signed with a row of X's

    and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
    And his father always tucked him in bed at night
    And was always there to do it

    Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
    he wrote a poem
    And he called it "Autumn"

    because that was the name of the season
    And that's what it was all about
    And his teacher gave him an A
    and asked him to write more clearly
    And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
    because of its new paint

    And the kids told him
    that Father Tracy smoked cigars
    And left butts on the pews
    And sometimes they would burn holes
    That was the year his sister got glasses
    with thick lenses and black frames
    And the girl around the corner laughed

    when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
    And the kids told him why
    his mother and father kissed a lot
    And his father never tucked him in bed at night
    And his father got mad
    when he cried for him to do it.


    Once on a paper torn from his notebook
    he wrote a poem
    And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
    because that was the question about his girl
    And that's what it was all about
    And his professor gave him an A

    and a strange steady look
    And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
    because he never showed her
    That was the year that Father Tracy died
    And he forgot how the end
    of the Apostle's Creed went

    And he caught his sister
    making out on the back porch
    And his mother and father never kissed
    or even talked
    And the girl around the corner
    wore too much makeup
    That made him cough when he kissed her

    but he kissed her anyway
    because that was the thing to do
    And at three a.m. he tucked himself into bed
    his father snoring soundly

    That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
    he tried another poem

    And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
    Because that's what it was really all about
    And he gave himself an A
    and a slash on each damned wrist
    And he hung it on the bathroom door
    because this time he didn't think

    he could reach the kitchen.”
    Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    “كلنا ندعي أننا نحب الحق ونريد نصرته من صميم قلوبنا، ولكننا
    في الواقع لانحب إلا ذلك الحق الشعري الي نلهج به دون أن نعرف حدوده في الحياة العملية.أما الحق الصارم الذي يهدد مصالحنا فنحن ابعد الناس عنه.”

    علي الوردي Ali Al-Wardi
    “الانسان مجبول ان يرى الحقيقة من خلال مصلحته ومألوفات محطيه فاذا اتحدت مصحلته مع المالوفات الاجتماعية صعب عليه ان يعترف بالحقيقة المخالفة لهما حتى ولو كانت ساطعة كالشمس فى رابعة النهار -”

    علي الوردي Ali Al-Wardi
    “إننا ندرس التاريخ لكي نستفيد لحاضرنا ومستقبلنا. هذا هو مقصد الشعوب الحية من دراسة التاريخ. ومن السخرية آن نتجادل على أمر مضى عليه ثلاثة عشر قرنا من غير آن ننتفع منه لحاضرنا أو مستقبلنا شيئا”

    “المبادئ الدينية شيء و الوسائل الميكافيلية شيء آخر. ومن يحترم المكر باسم الدين إنما هو يمسخ الدين من حيث لا يشعر. ولا خير في دين مؤسسه ميكافيلي”

    Jim Morrison
    “People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
    Jim Morrison
